Golf du Bassin Bleu, Golf course in Villèle, Saint-Paul, Réunion Island, France.
Golf du Bassin Bleu is an 18-hole, par-72 course of about 6000 metres laid out above the Bassin Bleu on the heights of Saint-Paul, with several tee positions per hole. The clubhouse holds the pro shop and a restaurant, and lessons are given on site.
The course opened in 2007, becoming an important addition to the sports facilities in the Saint-Paul region. Its development reflected the growing interest in golf across Réunion Island.
The course's name comes from the Bassin Bleu, the blue basin of the nearby ravine, and local players use it as their home club alongside visiting golfers. The clubhouse restaurant serves Creole dishes after rounds, and lessons are given in French and Réunion Creole.
The course opens at 7:30 on weekdays and closes slightly earlier on Sundays, allowing time for both early morning and afternoon rounds. Visitors should check in before playing and can rent or purchase equipment on site.
The course sits on the edge of the Bassin Bleu, the coastal inlet that gives it its name, in the Saint-Paul district on Réunion's western coast. The layout runs across a slope above the lagoon, so several fairways look down onto the water and the coral reef.
