This is the quality of LotusLakes Golf Club. In addition as a location for playing golf with 27 hole facilities, the LotusLakes Golf Club area is also one of the environmental buffers and oxygen producers or oxygen oase in Karawang, which is actually an industrial area.
“In 1990s, the weather in Karawang was very hot and even could peel off the skin due to the heat. In the past, many golfers always carried umbrella because of the heat. Now, there are many trees in the LotusLakes Golf Club area, so the golfers can take shelter there when they are overexposed by the sunlight. “Players can feel the freshness of oxygen here, since there are many trees,” Haryono continued.
In order to maintain its naturalness, a number of plant typical of Java, such as Indian almond and rain tree, as well as several tree species from Kalimantan and Papua such as meranti and ebony were planted at the LotusLakes Golf Club field. While the lake is filled with fish and becomes the habitat of lotus flowers. This lake is also one aspect that must exist in the the golf course area as one of the obstacles in the last play.
“As the name LotusLakes, we have a natural lake that is quite large in size. This lake is a part of play golf. This lake is also the place where lotus grow, which are the foundation of our philosophy. It always constantly grows above the water, even during recedes or floods. Lotus plants also have many health benefits. Leaves, stems, flowers, seeds, and other plant parts are cancer anti-oxidants.
