New Caledonia is an archipelago of islands in the southwest Pacific, around 750 miles east of Australia and 900 miles north of New Zealand, consisting of the main island of Grand Terre and several smaller islands. British explorer James Cook gave New Caledonia its name in 1774 but by the middle of the following century, the islands were under French control, a situation that remains up to today, with the territory designated as an overseas department of France.
Designed by Cynthia Dye McGarey and Luke Dye in 2014, Golf de Déva is the fourth course to open on Grand Terre in New Caledonia and it’s already considered by some to be the island’s best layout.
