Overview of the luxury item
Overview
You’ll need to travel to Papua on the western half of New Guinea to play Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw’s
remotest design, which is literally located in the middle of a rainforest jungle. This was Crenshaw and Coore’s
first nonUS design and they could not have picked a more isolated and undiscovered location anywhere in
the world.
Commissioned by PT Freeport, Indonesia’s largest gold and copper mining company, the Rimba Irian golf
course opened for play in 1996 for recreational use by the mining company’s employees. The golf course is
one of Asia’s most unusual and it’s totally unique. Rimba Irian is routed across a lowland swamp – at one time
inhabited by a Melanesian tribe – in the shadow of Indonesia’s highest and most sacred mountain, Puncak
Jaya. The ancient rainforest frames the course and the design has incorporated a number of specimen
hardwood trees that for some reason were left standing by loggers.
