The Koro Sun Resort in Fiji is one
of two challenging courses on Vanua Levu, the second largest island
in the group of 300 photographic isles.
The 9 hole golf course sits on Koro
Sun Resort's 150 acre property with it’s own marina and beach
front where great fishing & diving adventures take place year
around. Located only 14 kilometers from town, yet almost totally
isolated from development.
The Resort’s Course has a men’s
par 28 for the first round and 30 for the second. For the ladies,
the first round has a par 29 while the second round has a par 31.
The course is set in an unspoiled rain forest environment that sports
creeks, ponds, coconut trees and 14 bunkers that challenge the adventurous
golfer to reach the greens. Two hidden greens - the 7th hole at
130 meters and the 16th hole at 116 meters – are particularly
unique, as you can’t see the green from the tee. These two
holes are appropriately called the “Heart Break” holes.
Vijay, the resident golf-pro who has lived on this course for 12
years, says those who have played here claim “it is a very
testing course, but the walk through the property was well worth
the trip”. Vijay will gladly offer his expertise and insight, as well as lessons for those who are interested in starting a new sport.
The Resort’s pro-shop is located
above the main clubhouse (featuring a restaurant, bar, two pools
and a relaxing lounge) with views from the first holes’ tee-off
mound. The Pro shop has available golf clubs, shoes and accessories.
The course was surveyed by Australian professionals who have given
this 9-hole course it’s deserved rating of 60. The Koro Sun
Resort Golf Club is also affiliated with the National Golf Association
of Fiji.
If you’re looking for that special
place to swing a club in an exotic location with great diving &
fishing, enjoy being surrounded by beautiful and friendly people
(Fijians are known as the most friendly people in the world), check
this one out, you won’t be disappointed.
