The verdict
Blackstone Jeju, at Hallim on the volcanic island of Jeju, is a twenty seven hole resort designed by the JMP Golf Design Group, with three nines that combine into a par 72. The dark lava rock that gives the resort its name frames many of the holes, a dramatic contrast to the green fairways. The East and South nines are reserved for members and their guests, while the North nine is open for visitor play.
This is dramatic, modern resort golf on one of Korea's most popular holiday islands, where the volcanic rock and island scenery make every round memorable. It pairs naturally with the other championship courses of Jeju for a golf trip built around the island's resorts. Access to the visitor nine is best booked ahead, especially in the busy Korean season.

The holes worth the trip
The golf at Blackstone is shaped by the volcanic island. Black lava rock frames many of the holes, lining the fairways and hazards in a dramatic contrast to the manicured turf, so the premium is on keeping the ball on the short grass and away from the dark, punishing edges.
The three nines each have their own character, and any pairing makes a par 72 round, though visitors play the North circuit while the East and South are kept for members. The greens are large and modern, and the island weather, breezier and cooler than the mainland, often decides the score.
It is a JMP design built for resort play, generous enough to be enjoyed yet dramatic in its setting, and the volcanic scenery makes it one of the most memorable rounds on Jeju. Played in good weather with the island light on the lava rock, it is a striking introduction to Korean resort golf.
