About This Golf Course

The Blackstone Course is one of Asia’s most celebrated championship golf venues, hosting major events such as the World Ladies Championship and the World Celebrity Pro‑Am. Spanning more than 350 acres, the layout moves through mature forest, dense jungle vegetation, shimmering lakes, wetlands, and dramatic volcanic lava rock formations that define its bold visual identity.

Built on rugged lava fields, the course features sweeping fairways framed by jagged black rock, soft irregular edges, and striking transitions between turf and natural terrain. Rolling landforms create constant elevation changes, while preserved lychee trees and historic lava rock walls add authenticity and character. With no traditional rough, Blackstone relies on width, contour, and strategic angles to challenge players — rewarding thoughtful shot‑making over brute strength.

Stretching over 7,800 yards from the championship tees, Blackstone is engineered for world‑class tournament play. Yet despite its scale, the routing remains surprisingly walkable thanks to gentle green‑to‑tee connections and thoughtful flow between holes. The result is a visually stunning, technically demanding, and deeply immersive round that showcases the very best of Mission Hills Haikou’s volcanic landscape.
