Belitung is now known for more than just its granite-strewn beaches. The island, once closely tied to the Laskar Pelangi story, now enhances its charm through a new destination blending natural beauty and prestigious sport: Black Rocks Golf Belitung.
Located in the Tanjung Tinggi Beach area, Sijuk District, this course offers a golfing experience against the backdrop of blue ocean panoramas and iconic giant granite clusters. A rare combination that makes it one of Indonesia’s most exotic golf courses.
Golf Amid Granite Rocks and Blue Seas
Designed by international architect Ronald Fream, Black Rocks Golf features an 18-hole championship course with challenging contours and stunning views. Play begins from greens facing the ocean, while giant granite rocks stand elegantly on the other side like eternal spectators of every club swing.

The name "Black Rocks" itself comes from the dark stones scattered along the coastline. These natural elements remain unaltered, instead becoming the course’s core design feature. Consequently, each hole has distinct visual character, presenting both challenges and tranquility for golfers.
Beyond the course, the area also includes a resort, clubhouse, and luxury villas, making it a new magnet for premium tourists and sport tourism enthusiasts seeking open-air play sensations.
Becoming Belitung’s New Tourism Symbol
Black Rocks marks a new chapter in Belitung’s sports tourism development. The island no longer relies solely on beach vistas and seafood cuisine, but also on high-class travel experiences highlighting natural landscape beauty.
The local government welcomes this as a step toward tourism economic diversification, aligning with the vision to establish Belitung as a premier destination in western Indonesia. With easy access from H.A.S. Hanandjoeddin Airport and a 40-minute commute, Black Rocks further solidifies Belitung’s position on the national tourism map—not just for vacations, but for achievement on the green.
