Playing a Round on Denarau — Denarau’s Golf & Tennis (Racquet) Club.

The best part of playing a round on Denarau is knowing the rest of the family is having just as much fun as you are. Tee off on a championship course while the family enjoys the beach, the pools, the kids clubs. Denarau Island Golf & Racquet Club is the only place where everyone wins. Whether you’re looking for 2026 green fees, membership details, or a world-class par-72 challenge just minutes from your resort, here is your complete guide to golfing in paradise.

It is without doubt the South-West Pacific’s premier golf and tennis complex. The magnificent par-72, 6,513-meter resort course is beautifully landscaped through waterways, flowering shrubs and tall trees and even takes you out to view the ocean on Holes 15 and 16. It’s so popular it is common to see helicopters drop off golfers who have come from afar for a round and then fly them out again. The open fairways are a joy for all golfers and with four par threes, ten par fours, and four par five holes, 71 bunkers and an almost uncountable number of water hazards to contend with, there is something for everyone on the course.

Look closely at those bunkers — they aren’t just random shapes. Architect Eiichi Motohashi designed them to resemble local marine life, like stingrays and crabs, as a tribute to the mangroves the course was built upon.

Dress Code. Denarau Golf & Racquet Club follows standard resort-course etiquette: collared shirts, tailored shorts or trousers, and soft (non-metal) spikes on the course. Jeans, swimwear, and standard trainers aren’t permitted on the fairways or in the clubhouse dining areas during peak service.

Green Fees. Green fees vary by season, tee time, and guest versus resort/member rate. For current pricing, the Club publishes up-to-date green fee schedules here.

Membership Options. The Club offers a range of membership categories, from resident and corporate packages to short-stay visitor options for guests wanting repeat access during their trip. Current membership structures and pricing are best confirmed directly here.

Club & Cart Hire. Rental clubs are upgraded annually, with Ping and Mizuno sets currently available, so travelling light isn’t a barrier to a round. Golf carts are also available for hire on-site.

Tennis at the Club. Denarau Golf & Racquet Club isn’t just golf — it’s home to four synthetic and six grass courts, regularly hosting the Fiji Tennis Open. Coaching from local professionals is available for all levels, and the pro-shop stocks everything from rackets to grip tape, alongside a full range of golf gear.

Tournaments & Events. The Club runs a regular calendar of golf and tennis tournaments open to visitors. For upcoming fixtures, check their ‘what’s on’ page.

And of course, what better way to relax after your round of golf or your game of tennis than by enjoying a refreshing beverage and a snack or a meal? Actually, there is one idea following that train of thought. After some strenuous exercise (especially if you haven’t had any in a while!), it might be that a Fijian massage or bobo is in order. If so, perhaps check out Spa Denarau at the Port or Harmony Day Spa at Radisson Blu.

The Clubhouse, known to locals as Heineken House, is a popular venue both after activities and in its own right. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the tranquil ambience and to congregate on sporting occasions, catching the live action on the flat screens. With a 360-degree bar and a menu that includes such favourites as wings, nachos, fish and chips, salads, curries, and wood-fired pizza, it is easy to see why it is so popular with locals and guests. In fact, the wood-fired pizzas are considered by some to be the best on Denarau. Beyond the snacks, there is an à la carte menu, and bookings for lunch and dinner are advised.

Golf Beyond Denarau. If you’re building a golf trip around your Fiji stay, Denarau is an easy and comprehensive base — the island’s hotels, restaurants, and facilities make it a natural hub to return to after a round. Denarau Golf & Racquet Club is the obvious starting point, but not the only stop worth making. Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course, roughly 45 minutes from Nadi, is Fiji’s other major course and a worthwhile add for anyone keen to play golf in Fiji during their trip.

Getting in Touch. For bookings, tee times, or general enquiries, the Club can be reached directly here.

There you have it! Have a volley or two and work up a sweat on the courts. If golf is your thing — whether a pro, a twice-a-year hack, or a regular player trying to lower your handicap — here’s your destination. It’s a great place to spend a morning or afternoon, taking in the lovely course setting. Enjoy the air and the scenes and views of the mountains to the sea, you may even perhaps be rewarded with a Denarau sunset over the ocean, everything else is but a bonus!
