Key Facts

Three Reasons Golfers Choose Black Rocks

Authentic design by American master Ronald W. Fream, the stunning granite-and-sea scenery unique to Belitung, and an integrated resort that unites golf, hotel and villas. Here, a special experience you cannot find elsewhere is distilled into one place.

1. A championship course by a renowned architect — An authentic 18-hole, par-72 layout of about 7,255 meters designed by Ronald W. Fream, who has worked on prestigious courses worldwide. By skillfully incorporating coastal granite terrain, natural lakes and tropical forest, it offers a rewarding round for golfers of every level, from beginners to professionals.
2. The breathtaking landscape unique to Belitung — White-sand beaches, a turquoise sea and the dark granite boulders that line the coast. The scenery around Tanjung Tinggi, a symbol of Belitung tourism, surrounds the course, creating a visual experience as if you were playing inside an “open-air art gallery.”
3. Golf and a resort stay in one — Developed as an integrated resort featuring a four-star hotel, luxury villas, a clubhouse, a driving range and restaurants. Beyond golf, you can enjoy a stay-style golf trip that combines accommodation, dining and even beach activities.

Location and Access

Black Rocks is located in Tanjung Tinggi, Sijuk District, in the northern part of Belitung Island. Just nearby lies Tanjung Tinggi Beach, also known as a filming location for the movie “Laskar Pelangi (The Rainbow Troops),” with its distinctive rows of granite boulders. Set amid the quintessential Belitung scenery woven from white sand, sea and black rocks, the location lets you fully soak up the atmosphere of a resort island.

Belitung Island is generally reached by air, and its gateway is H.A.S. Hanandjoeddin Airport (Tanjung Pandan). The flight from Jakarta is a short 45 minutes or so—ideal for a weekend getaway or a corporate golf retreat. From the airport to the course is about a 20-minute drive. For getting around the island, a company car or private car is convenient, as are ride-hailing services such as Grab and Gojek. Please note that GoGolf does not arrange any transfer service, so you should arrange your own transport from the airport to the course and hotel. For plans that include an overnight stay, staying at the on-site hotel is also an option.

Course Design (Ronald W. Fream) and Characteristics

This 18-hole, par-72 championship course of about 7,255 meters bears the design philosophy of Ronald W. Fream, the acclaimed American architect, in every corner. Its greatest feature is the way the “Black Rocks”—the granite boulders scattered along the coast that also give the course its name—are integrated into the layout as strategic hazards rather than mere scenery. Even a slight miscalculation can send the ball caroming off a rock in an unexpected direction or into a spot that is hard to recover from, so accurate course reading and short-game skill are essential.

Beyond the granite, the course is backed by a wealth of natural elements such as the open sea, natural lakes and tropical forest, making it highly appealing visually. Yet that beauty comes hand in hand with challenge: the ever-changing sea breeze complicates club selection and distance estimation. On some holes the tee box sits at a height and the green is surrounded by a small lake or natural bush, testing both your shot imagination and your technical precision. There are long par 5s that test distance and holes with narrow greens that demand high precision from the fairway—each of the 18 holes is designed around a different concept, so the round never grows monotonous to the very end. More than raw distance, the ability to read the situation and flexibly switch strategy is the key to scoring.

Clubhouse and Facilities

Black Rocks is equipped with a clubhouse where you can relax comfortably before and after your round, along with a full set of golf facilities. In the restaurant inside the clubhouse, you can enjoy a meal or a break while gazing at the sea views after play. There is also a driving range useful for warming up and fine-tuning—perfect for checking Belitung’s distinctive winds or getting your swing feel ready before you start.

What is more, a major feature of the facility is that it is an integrated resort combined with a four-star hotel. In addition to accommodation, hospitality functions that enrich your stay—dining, spa and massage, a swimming pool and fitness—are planned and being prepared, so you can realize a resort stay paired with golf. Amenities needed for a comfortable golf experience, such as a pro shop, lockers and showers, are also available. For details on facilities and services, please check the official website or GoGolf before your visit.

Development Concept as an Integrated Resort

Black Rocks is designed as an integrated resort that fuses sport tourism with a high-end stay experience, centered on the concept of “Golf, Resort, Lifestyle.” Its expansive grounds are divided mainly into three zones by purpose. At the core is the golf course and driving range zone, where the 18 holes are laid out with consideration for the terrain’s contours, wind direction and natural harmony with Belitung’s distinctive granite.

Next comes the hospitality zone, gathering the clubhouse, the four-star hotel, restaurants, a spa and a lounge. Then there is the luxury villa zone, with direct access to the golf course. Development is proceeding in stages: first preparing the initial nine holes along with the clubhouse, driving range and hotel facilities, then expanding the remaining holes and adding hotel rooms—demonstrating a commitment to an international-standard golf destination. Note that the project’s developer is also known for operating prestigious resort courses such as Palm Hill Golf in Bogor and New Kuta Golf in Bali, and a strong landscape approach and tournament-grade design philosophy are carried over into Black Rocks as well. The way it integrates a variety of landscape elements—coastal rocks, the open sea, natural lakes and tropical forest—into a challenging playing design creates a distinctive atmosphere you cannot feel at an ordinary golf course, and it aligns with the inclinations of today’s golfers who seek experiential travel.

Founder Membership and Partner-Course Privileges

As an integrated resort, Black Rocks is a lifestyle-oriented destination that combines golf, hotel and villas, and buyers of premium villas, among others, are offered the chance to become Founder Members. Founder Members are said to receive a variety of privileges, such as access to the clubhouse’s private lounge, priority for tee-time reservations, priority participation in various golf events, and special treatment for guests. The lounge is a space well suited to networking, resting, or a meeting in a calm, refined atmosphere.

In addition, another feature is preferential treatment for playing at prestigious courses operated by the same developer, such as Palm Hill Golf in Bogor and New Kuta Golf in Bali, forming a golf ecosystem that connects premium destinations across the country. Being able to enjoy high-quality golf and resorts while moving from place to place is a major draw for those who value golf-centered travel. That said, even ordinary golfers can casually experience this authentically appointed course and hospitality within their everyday rounds and golf trips. Because the details of membership and privileges may change depending on circumstances, please check the latest information on the official website and elsewhere.

An Unforgettable Golf Experience

A round at Black Rocks is a special experience hard to find anywhere else—surrounded by the blue sea, white-sand beaches and Belitung’s distinctive black granite. Each shot demands not only technical calculation but also delivers an unforgettable visual experience. The process of building your line of attack while reading the sea breeze and avoiding rocks and lakes holds a tension and exhilaration you cannot feel at an urban course. Amid scenery that makes you feel as if you are inside an “open-air art gallery,” being able to savor serious golf and the freedom of a resort at the same time is the joy unique to this island course. The round of golf itself can become the very highlight of a Belitung trip—this is a place to spend such a day. From a golf trip with friends to a corporate retreat or a memorable match, it answers a wide range of purposes.

Exploring the Surroundings and Belitung

Belitung Island is a beach resort island that has drawn growing attention from within and beyond Indonesia in recent years. Tanjung Tinggi Beach, right next to the course, is famous as a filming location for the movie “Laskar Pelangi” and is renowned for the breathtaking scenery created by its giant granite and crystal-clear sea. A little farther out lies Tanjung Kelayang, a base for island hopping, where beautiful beaches and small islands are scattered and you can enjoy snorkeling and boat tours.

On the culinary side, Belitung seafood made with fresh catch is popular, so a meal after golf is one of the great pleasures of the trip. There are many photogenic spots, and being able to enjoy golf, beach sightseeing, island hopping and cuisine all at once is the charm of a trip to Belitung. Using the on-site hotel or villas of Black Rocks as a base, you can easily put together an itinerary that combines golf and resort sightseeing at a relaxed pace—from a weekend trip to a stay of several days, a wide range of styles can be accommodated.

Good to Know Before You Play

• Access: Belitung Island is reached primarily by air. From Jakarta to H.A.S. Hanandjoeddin Airport (Tanjung Pandan) is about 45 minutes, and from the airport to the course is about a 20-minute drive. On the island, a company/private car or ride-hailing services such as Grab and Gojek are convenient (GoGolf does not arrange transfers).
• Course character: A strategic layout that makes use of coastal granite terrain and natural lakes. Because a ball can veer far off line when it hits a rock, accurate course reading and short game are important.
• Sea-breeze measures: Because it is by the sea, the wind changes easily, and there are moments when club selection and ball-flight control become difficult. On windy days, being mindful of a lower trajectory and a safe club choice helps keep things stable.
• Climate and attire: The climate is tropical with strong sunshine, so wear a hat, use sunscreen and stay hydrated. A collared shirt, golf trousers and golf shoes are the basics, and it is reassuring to carry rain gear.
• Caddie and cart: Whether a caddie, cart and rental equipment (clubs, shoes, etc.) are available, and their fees, should be confirmed at the time of booking.
• Staying over: Because it is combined with a four-star hotel, it also suits golf trips that include an overnight stay. If you are combining golf with beach sightseeing, a relaxed schedule is recommended.
