Construction complete on Dhoho Golf Club

Construction has been completed on Dhoho Golf Club in the city of Kediri in Indonesia’s East Java province. Curley-Wagner Design’s Brian Curley has spearheaded the project into its final grow-in phase, and the course is expected to open for full public play in the second quarter of 2026.

The front nine has been open and playable since last fall, offering an early look at the course’s setting and style. Work on the back nine has now been completed as well.

Set in the foothills of the Gunung Liman mountains, the site features prominent ridgelines, natural elevation changes, and a network of streams that play a central role in the course’s visual identity and strategic character. The design makes full use of the land’s natural contours, with wide playing corridors, bold shaping and large-scale hazards intended to match the property’s expansive feel.

"This property offers substantially varied terrain and backdrops. The result is a design with wildly different and unique holes that create a great memorability," Curley said.

Curley also emphasized the scope of the site and the distinctive shaping features that define the course’s look and playability.

"The grand scale of the property demands a combination of fairway width and massive bunkering at times, punctuated with bahia grass islands,” Curley continued. “The streams dominate many holes and the overall landscape as they can be seen from many angles due to the elevation change.”

Among the course’s standout design elements are its green complexes. "These may be some of the largest, most varied and wild green surfaces I have ever done on 18 holes and they create a unique ground game experience," he said.

Construction was managed by Flagstick, led by Martin Moore, whose team worked through difficult terrain and unusually heavy rainfall to bring the project to completion.

“Given those two factors,” Curley said, referring to the weather and the landscape, “Martin and I agree that this may be one of our more satisfying efforts to not only finally see come to fruition but even surpass our expectations. It’s truly a phenomenal accomplishment.”

Notably, the routing has been refined during the final stages of development, and hole numbering has been updated. The course’s signature drivable par four – previously identified as the 14th hole in early planning – will now play as the 17th.

The golf course is part of the larger Surya Dhoho destination development in Kediri, supported by nearby infrastructure including the Dhoho Kediri International Airport, which provides convenient access to the region. A clubhouse is currently under construction, with completion expected approximately one year after the course opens.
