Denarau Golf and Racquet Club: The South Pacific's premier championship course is in the heart of the resort island of Denarau, home of Sheraton Fiji Resort. Landscaped with giant coconut palms it features water hazards on 15 of the 18 holes making it a 'thinking' golf course.
Facilities include a driving range, 2 practice putting greens, golf and tennis Pro Shop, adult and junior clinics, private lessons.
Novotel Hotel Nadi Executive Golf Course: The Novotel Hotel Nadi has a nine-hole course with all par 3's. A challenging course as it is set on a steep slope. Green fees: Non-house guests pay $11 and house guests play free. Club hire: $11.
Shangri-La Fijian Resort Executive Golf Course: Newly extended and recreated, the Shangri-La Fijian's course is the only one in Fiji that offers Tifton Dwarf grass greens. There are five par 3 holes and four par 4 holes. Sand traps, and one hole with a double water hazard make playing for precision rather than power the option.
