About APLGI

We work behind every round of golf in Indonesia.

APLGI is the Indonesia Golf Course Owners Association (Asosiasi Pemilik Lapangan Golf Indonesia). Fourteen course owners founded it on 19 July 1995. Today it represents around sixty golf courses in sixteen provinces.

Through shared information, training, education programs and seminars, we help every member course run more efficiently and serve golfers better. We protect the interests of owners and investors, and just as much the interests of the club members and golfers the courses exist for.

Heritage

The history of Indonesian golf lives on our member courses.

Some APLGI courses are older than the republic. Others have hosted international tournaments. All of them are still played every day.

Through this website we hope to share our activities, work programs, policies and standards, along with news about APLGI members and the golf course industry in Indonesia.

We believe the golf industry can only move forward through the collaboration and shared commitment of every APLGI member. We invite all members and stakeholders to build, together, an Indonesian golf ecosystem that keeps growing more advanced, professional and sustainable.
