Denarau - Fiji

Demarau Golf & Racket Club is a flat resort course located near the ocean. Although most holes are monotonous, some are strong holes due to the length and well-placed bunkers. All par 4s require water carries but greenside bunkers come much more into play than the water. Most water hazards are not strategically placed, since it is a resort course to promote good scores. This course is suitable for beginners and intermediate players. Various palm trees enhance the tropical atmosphere.

There are three interesting holes. The par 3 175-yard 3rd is beautiful and it crosses over a lake. The green is two-tired, vertically long, and surrounded by four bunkers. The par 4 400-yard 12th is a slight dogleg to the left. The tee shot is over a river, and another river runs in front of the green, sloping sharply from back to front, protected by bunkers to the left, front-left, and right sides. The par 5 517-yard 18th is a straight hole in which rivers cross the fairway twice. The second river crosses just in front of the green, adding to the difficulty of the final approach shot.

Played here last year and the course wasn't as good as It looked online ..

Is certainly a spectator location just really was lacking in X factor I was

expecting a more challenging course ...seemed to me to be designed for looks rather than players enjoyment...still maybe another couple rounds I might well warm to the expanse layout

I never know why they have championship tees on a resort course. I am single figures, and yet from the back tees this course is no fun at all. Come forward and it makes a lot more sense, although I don't rate it as highly as others. The condition was excellent, however, even though I played it five times I just couldn't warm to it. Mind you, when you are staying at the resort, who cares, swimming pool bars can always cheer you up. Go for a holiday, take your clubs, just don't expect a magical golf course.

played this course 2/102015 on a cruise.Although in the middle of a drought course was fabulous. greens around 11, fairways a little quick.the layout is first class.I have played 60 of the worlds top 100 would not hesitate to play here again.we were 2 of the 4 rounds that day, could have played in 3 hours

good course in one of the best settings you can ask for. quite easy to play and conditions are great. not the best course i have played but would definately play there again when i return for my next holiday!
