The Fiji pro-am golf tour has been running for over 30 years. Some of the great names of professional golf started there careers playing in Fiji, including Greg Norman and VJ Singh. Over the past 6 years New Zealand’s Mark Brown and Mike Hendry have featured strongly.

There are 5 events confirmed for 2012 with over $F180,000 in professional prize money on offer and a great opportunity for amateur golfers to measure their skills against the pros and play for some great prizes. It is expected that the Starwood Golf Classic will be fully subscribed early so if you are considering traveling to Fiji for the 2012 events enter early.

Event Information

Is a real fun format and now in its 16^th year. This event is extremely popular and sells out every year. The tournament is played at the Sheraton Denarau Golf Course on Denarau Island. Denarau Island is the premier resort area of Fiji, only 20 minutes drive from Nadi International airport there are 8 international hotels, golf, tennis and marine village with many bars restaurant and shops.

The pro-am is played over two rounds on the 1^st and 2^nd of June, the amateurs playing in the event will play a round at the fantastic Natadola Bay course the day before the pro-am.

Played on the international VJ Singh inspired layout, a great test of golf and by far the best championship golf course in the South Pacific Islands. The course is around 45 minutes drive from Denarau Island. The pro-am will be played in carts.

Considered by many as the best resort in Fiji, set on a 100 acre Island only 15 minutes drive from Natadola Bay or an hour from Nadi Airport.

Many of the pro’ and amateurs will stay here when playing the Natadola and Fijian hotel pro-am’s before heading to Pacific Harbour for the Fiji Open.

Played at the Pearl Golf course at Pacific Harbour. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr, and has hosted numerous events including the Eisenhower Trophy back in the 70’s. Fantastic course layout unfortunately the condition of the course deteriorated over a number of years but new owners have been making improvements to rejuvenate the course. The tournament will be played over 54 holes. There is various accommodation available in the area; we have a special tournament rate for players at the Pearl Hotel which is on the beach and close to the course.
