Black Stone Golf & Resort (East)

Overview: The East Course at Black Stone Golf & Resort Jeju is the exact nine-hole mountain loop represented by this production directory row. The official resort page lists par 36 and 3,349 metres, approximately 3,659 yards, and places the course among Jeju’s oreums, forest and volcanic rock formations. Brian Costello of JMP Design Group shaped the wider property so that the East, South and North courses each have a different landscape identity. East is the most sheltered of the three, moving through woodland and toward views of Jeju’s distinctive oreum hills. Water, rock and a large lake add strategic pressure without overwhelming the natural setting.

History: Black Stone Jeju opened as a 27-hole resort in 2005. The official club describes the design philosophy as allowing nature to remain the greatest architect, with the courses following the existing landforms and preserving views toward Hallasan and the sea. The ranking source represents the East and South combination, but the directory row identifies East alone. This profile therefore uses the exact nine-hole par and distance from the resort’s current course information rather than the combined 18-hole figures.

Did You Know? Black Stone’s East Course brings three Jeju oreums, Jeongmul Oreum, Dang Oreum and Dol Oreum, into the course’s visual story. The fourth hole is a par three played toward a green that appears to float beside a waterfall and lake, one of the clearest examples of how the resort uses volcanic landscape as a design feature.
