|
| East Kalimantan (Indonesian: Kalimantan Timur abbrv. Kaltim) is the second largest Indonesian province, located on the Kalimantan region on the east of Borneo island. The resource-rich province has two major cities, Samarinda (the capital and a center for timber product) and Balikpapan (a petroleum center with oil refinery). Ever since Indonesia opened its mineral and natural resources for foreign investment in 1970s, East Kalimantan province has experienced major boost of timber, petroleum and other exotic forest products. The state-owned petroleum company Pertamina has been operating in the area since it took control oil refinery from the Royal Dutch Shell company in 1965.
The population is a mixture of people from the Indonesian archipelago with Dayaks and Kutai as indigenous ethnic groups living in rural areas. Other prominent migrant ethnic groups include Javanese, Chinese, Banjarese, Bugis and Malays, who mostly live in coastal areas. |

Economy |
| East Kalimantan heavily depends on earth resources activity such as oilfield exploration, natural gas, as well as coal and gold mining. Balikpapan has an oil refinery plant that was primarily built by Dutch governance before World War II, destroyed during World War II, and rebuilt by Indonesia Governance.
Other developing economic sectors includes agriculture and tourism. East Kalimantan has several tourist destination such as Derawan Islands in Berau Regency, Kayan Mentarang National Park ini Nunukan, Crocodile Husbandry in Balikpapan, deer husbandry in Penajam, Dayak's (native Kalimantan people) Pampang Village in Samarinda and many others. Among the many obstacles to developing economic growth is lack of transportation infrastructure. Transportation depends on traditional boats connecting coastal cities and areas along main river, Mahakam River. |

| Pertamina Balikpapan Golf Course was built in the year 1974 and opened by Mr. Ibnu Sutowo, Pertamina Managing Director in the year 1978. Pertamina Golf Course (18 holes) was the first and the only golf course opened in East Kalimantan, as replacement of the BPM Company Golf Course (9holes), which was located at BPM employees complex at Gn. Dubbs.
PBGC was designed by pertamina employees (one of them: Mr. Ir. Antonius). The course is set in the midst of the beautiful hilly area. Splendid views can be enjoyed during the play. The basic looking lay out of the golf course can be quite deceiving, even for the low handicappers. The seemingly easy course has potential hazardous bunkers around the green. Powerful and accurate shots are required for the 7th hole (par 4, with hcp index 1) with the dogleg to the left and the forest on the both sides. The golfer can reach the course easily because it is located only 10 minutes by car to downtown and 3-5 minutes to the Sepinggan airport. Until present time we do not provide a golfcart but it is in our plan for the nearest future. Club Facilities : * Restaurant |
