Located close to Bauerfield international airport, Port Vila Golf and Country Club was established by Ati George Sokomanu, the first Vanuatu President, in 1984. The original 9-hole course that was set out was increased to a full 18-hole layout a decade later, with many of the fairways running parallel to the Mele Bay shoreline.
Port Vila’s course now measures around 6,500 yards from the back tees and it’s conventionally configured, with two par fives and two par threes on both the outward and inward half. On the front nine, the short par four 5th is a favourite of many whilst the toughest hole on the card is kept until last, at the 440-yard 18th.
The Vanuatu Golf Open was inaugurated shortly after the course was extended to its present size and it plays a large part in promoting the course’s profile in the region. More than twenty years after its inception, the Open now attracts professionals and top amateurs alike from New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and the Solomon Islands.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
