Golf de Dumbéa, Golf course in Dumbéa, New Caledonia.
Golf de Dumbéa is a golf course in Dumbéa, New Caledonia, spread across 18 holes through niaouli forests. The site is framed by Mont Dzumac, which serves as a natural backdrop and shapes the surrounding landscape.
The course opened in 1980 and was the first golf facility in New Caledonia. Australian architect Robert Green designed its layout, establishing a new recreational option in the region.
The course incorporates local plants such as ironwood, niaouli, jamun, kauri, coconut palms, and hibiscus spread across its holes. These trees shape how the place looks and feel, creating a setting that differs from typical golf course design found elsewhere.
The facility opens daily from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and features an 18-bay driving range with two putting greens. Visitors should prepare for tropical climate conditions and bring appropriate gear.
The 17th hole stretches about 560 meters along a river and lake system. This par 5 is among the region's longest challenges and requires careful planning across water.
