Belitung FootGolf tournament joins tourism push at Black Rocks Golf

PT Intra Golflink Resorts Tbk turned Black Rocks Golf into the center of a three-day Belitung tourism push, using a golf and footgolf tournament on June 20 to bridge a villa groundbreaking on June 19 and the opening of Laskar Pelangi Beach Food Plaza on June 21. The sequence kept attention on the Tanjung Tinggi Beach property while linking sport, lodging, dining, and conservation in one tightly managed rollout.

Mangkuluhur Goes to Belitung was staged on June 20-21 at Black Rocks Golf and Tanjung Tinggi Beach, with Belitung Regent Djoni Alamsyah in attendance alongside company management, business partners, golf communities, and other regional stakeholders. The company positioned the footgolf portion as more than a novelty, saying it was intended to introduce the sport as a more inclusive and accessible activity that could draw families, casual tourists, and first-time sports travelers into the golf environment.

That message fit the setting. Black Rocks Golf covers more than 74 hectares and operates as an 18-hole, par-71 course with sea and lake views, and it sits beside the granite boulders that define Tanjung Tinggi Beach. Other golf references place the course at 7,255 yards, credit Ron Fream as the designer, and note a 2019 debut, details that help explain why the resort is being used as the anchor for a broader destination strategy rather than treated as a standalone sporting venue.

The June activation also pushed the property toward a fuller resort identity. The Belitung complex includes plans for The Links Golf Villa Belitung, The Links Coffee Belitung, a four-star hotel, and residential lots, with the tournament and the new food plaza designed to create more reasons to stay on site and more touchpoints for visitors moving through the area. PT Intra Golflink Resorts has framed that mix as integrated golf tourism, not just golf operations.

Conservation remained part of the pitch. The company linked the Mangkuluhur Goes to Belitung series with coral reef transplantation and environmental preservation, tying the event to a wider effort to present Belitung as a place where sport and tourism can grow alongside stewardship of the coast. Darma Mangkuluhur Hutomo has said the goal is to build a long-term integrated golf-tourism destination in Indonesia, and Belitung is now being used as the clearest test case for that model.
