With Modern having a tournament this week, we had planned and announced a trip to see the new layout of Suvarna Golf (the old Halim II). Selflessly, President Roger Finnie went to check it out earlier this week and found that whilst the course itself is in great condition, the facilities and surrounding areas are still under development. So we have decided to leave this experience for another weekend a few months down the track and answer the many requests to return to Emeralda.
With its 27 holes designed by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer you can walk the footsteps of legends whilst enjoying one of the more picturesque courses we will play this year. Usually difficult to get good group booking slots at a reasonable price, Emeralda has been off our calendar until just recently and with the positive feedback we are pleased to include another round there in our schedule. The rate is Rp950k including cart and with an early tee time we will be able to enjoy fully the day and not be too late returning home.
To come and join in all the fun of a Tee Set Sunday please sign up here.
