Indonesia's golf scene is undergoing a transformation. This sport is no longer viewed as an exclusive activity but has evolved into an active lifestyle synonymous with health, sportsmanship, etiquette, networking, and prestige. This positive trend is the backdrop for the Indonesia Golf Festival (IGF) 2025, the largest golf exhibition in the country.

Embodying the spirit of "Golf for Everyone", IGF 2025 officially opened at ICE BSD City, Tangerang, Banten on Friday (24/10/2025). The event, running until 26 October 2025, is specifically designed to reach all segments, from the younger generation and women to professional communities across various fields.

Call for Collaboration and Enhancing Golf Tourism


IGF 2025 also serves as a platform to open cross-industry collaboration opportunities. Golf is now seen as a lifestyle that unites sports, business, and tourism.

President Commissioner of PT Intra Golflink Resorts Tbk (IGR), Darma Mangkuluhur Hutomo, stressed the importance of building a comprehensive ecosystem. During the Golftalks session, he urged the Indonesian golf community to improve infrastructure.

"The quality of golf courses must be enhanced to attract international golfers. We need to create attractive packages to draw the attention of Asian and global golfers," he added.

Golf tourism is emerging as a strategic potential for Indonesia. Several destinations, including Bali, Bintan, Batam, and Lombok, have built regional reputations as golf holiday spots offering a combination of tropical natural beauty and competitive costs.

With participation from over 100 brands demonstrating their products and expertise, the Indonesia Golf Festival 2025 stands as tangible proof that Indonesia's golf world is continuously evolving and ready to be enjoyed by everyone.
