Jakarta’s hottest new “nongkrong” spot offers more than just golf
Jakarta, 23 October 2024 — Topgolf Jakarta, the newest addition to the global sports and entertainment brand, is officially opening on 27 October 2024. This exciting launch brings a unique fusion of sports, entertainment, and social fun to Indonesia, marking Topgolf’s second location in Southeast Asia. More than just a new entertainment venue, Topgolf Jakarta stands out as a vibrant hub that combines high-tech sports with a playful atmosphere, creating the perfect spot for social seekers and golf enthusiasts. Located in Cilandak, Fatmawati, South Jakarta, this 3.5-hectare venue features 102 hitting bays across three levels and is designed to be the city’s next “nongkrong” spot for fun, food, and socializing.
Andrew Nathan, CEO of Topgolf Southeast Asia Development, shares, “Topgolf Jakarta is an exciting milestone in our global journey. We are thrilled to introduce this dynamic space to Jakarta, where we blend the excitement of golf with advanced technology and a vibrant social scene.”
As part of a worldwide brand known for transforming how people enjoy golf, Topgolf Jakarta joins more than 100 venues across 9 countries, each dedicated to making golf fun, modern, and accessible. Founded by twin brothers with the goal of making golf more inclusive, Topgolf has grown into a social hub where the focus is on bringing people together. “Jakarta’s entry into the Topgolf family allows local fans to be part of this incredible community where the game is about fun, innovation, and inclusivity,” adds Nathan.
To celebrate its launch, Topgolf Jakarta has successfully introduced the #SwingAja campaign, a fun and engaging initiative aimed at making golf accessible to everyone. Led by influencers and supported by pop-up events, #SwingAja encourages new Players to try golf in a fun, pressure-free environment, showing that the sport is as much about laughter and fun as it is about skill.
Francis Dehnhardt, Director of Operations at Topgolf Indonesia, explains, “Golf often has a serious image, but with #SwingAja, we’re showing people that at Topgolf, it’s all about having a great time with friends — no pressure, just fun and great vibes.”
The venue is equipped with Topgolf’s Toptracer technology and fan-favorite games like Angry Birds, alongside new offerings like Block Party and “The Sure Thing.” The Sure Thing club is a golf club designed to be easier to hit for all Players, with a large clubhead that boosts confidence and helps with solid contact. It has an unusually high loft of 20 degrees, making it easier to get the ball airborne. This combination of features — size, loft, and control — makes hitting the ball feel almost guaranteed, hence the name “The Sure Thing.”
Topgolf Jakarta is set to become the city’s hottest new nongkrong spot for social seekers. The venue features three restaurants, four bars, and multiple chill zones, perfect for unwinding with friends or family. “Whether you’re here to play or relax, there’s always something new to enjoy at Topgolf,” says Dehnhardt.
Dehnhardt adds, “Our goal is to provide an unparalleled experience that goes beyond golf. With our state-of-the-art technology, great food, and vibrant social spaces, Topgolf Jakarta offers something for everyone, whether you’re here to play, eat, or simply have a good time.”
Topgolf Jakarta also caters to families, offering a fun environment where everyone — from kids to grandparents — can play, eat, and connect. With private event spaces and premium corporate packages, it’s also the ideal spot for team building or hosting special events. “We’ve created a space where work and play blend seamlessly,” adds Nathan. “Whether it’s a family day out or a corporate gathering, Topgolf Jakarta has something for everyone.”
With its unique blend of sports, tech, and entertainment, Topgolf Jakarta is more than just a golf venue — it’s an experience where people of all ages can create lasting memories.
