Located on the south-west coast of the island, between the Etang-Salé-les-Bains and Saint-Louis, ‘Golf Club de Bourbon’ is the oldest golf complex of Reunion Island. A parcourse of 75 hectares and 6,276 metres. A clubhouse, the ‘Play Off’, offers the opportunity to relax and have lunch in the shade of bougainvillea. A pool and three tennis court are also available to all clients. A nine-hole course was therefore constructed in order to preserve a sizeable flora. Then, the National Forestry Board gave its approval for an extension project in 1969. The 18-holes have then been created in 1991. The Club also has a compact parcourse available for beginners and a practice area. The first 9-holes have a crescendo in difficulty and the last thr ee holes are concentrated. The parcourse does not include any water features during the game. Its fairways (well maintained alleys) are rarely flat and rather narrow, the PAR (number of strokes for a hole normally provided) are sometimes very long and 'rough' (tall grass) and due to black sand, which does not provide to obtain a perfect strike. With a length that meets international standards, the ‘Golf Club de Bourbon’ can host professional competitions and proud to hold monthly competitions for all levels and all ages. Each year is held the ‘Trophée des Nations’ at Etang-Salé. |
