Gombel Golf Club in Semarang, Indonesia was open in 2006 just in the outskirt of Semarang towards Jogjakarta approximately 20 minutes from Simpang Lima area where I stayed. I played 9 holes and then another 18 holes before moving to Jogjakarta. The clubhouse is huge and changing room was also large and clean and they have a golf shop under Nickent because there were a lot of Nickent products in the shop. I didn't buy any golf shirts as the materials was not that good.
After registering at the counter, playing 3 people and paid IDR 660,000 (RM 225.00) including green fees, cart, caddies (requested for cewek) and insurance we went to the 10th tee. My friend also rented a set for IDR 150,000 (RM 51.00) and got a Precept graphite irons, Taylor Made R7 drivers and fairway woods. The other sets for rental were Mizuno irons and Taylormade Rac irons, not many choices.
Teeing from the Black tee, hole 10 is a Par 5 503 yards and bunkers are waiting at 200++ in the fairway. The second shot has to carry a water hazard and that would leave a pitching wedge shot to the green. I reached the green in 3 but 4 putted for double bogey. There are many interesting holes at the back-nine and I got 2 pars for a 46 score.
The next morning we arrived at the clubhouse at 6.30 in the morning and paid IDR 873,000 (RM 296.00) to play 18 holes and this time we got different ceweks for our caddies. The caddies worked only one shift, either morning or afternoon. We have two senior golfers in the group and they paid less for green fees.
The front nine I played 47 and the back nine I played 42 for a 89 gross score. The other two friends played 98 (49+49) and 103 (54+49) and it was a very enjoyable experience and would recommend fellow golfers to try this course.
