Tina
Located near the Renzo Piano-designed Jean-Marie Tijbaou Cutural Centre near the capital city of Nouméa, Tina is one of four 18-hole golf courses (along with Deva, Dumbéa and Ouenghi) in New Caledonia.
The lush fairways at Tina Golf Club are laid out along the coast overlooking a lagoon and each hole is revealed as the course winds its way through mangrove plantations within a special nature reserve, allowing visitors to experience a truly tropical game of golf at this golfing jewel in the Pacific.
