Laucala Island
Laucala Island Golf Course: At this very exclusive (and very expensive) private island resort, Scotsman David McLay-Kidd was brought in to design a championship golf course. The stunning 18-hole layout meanders through a backdrop of volcanic mountains and occasionally emerges to cling to sheer cliffs that plunge into the Pacific Ocean.
The par-72 layout, playable by the island resort's guests, has been thoughtfully integrated into the jungle-clad hills and former coconut plantation areas. Undulating fairways, challenging greens and strategic bunkers are all in the mix of this well-crafted design.
Pick of the holes: the signature par-5 12th plays down through the jungle to a beachside green, which could mean wet feet at high tide.
Resort guests staying on Laucala Island can book to play on weekdays and weekends.
Caddies, buggies and clubs are all available in the clubhouse.
Laucala Island is one of three small islands that lie to the northeast of the Fijian island of Taveuni, which itself lies to the east of Vanua Levu, one of Fiji's two main islands. Laucala Island is owned by Austrian-born Dietrich Mateschitz, co-founder of the Red Bull energy drink company.

Visit websiteHemmed by lagoons and coral reefs in the South Pacific, Laucala offers all the exclusivity of a private island resort, but is within easy reach of international travel hubs. No expense has been spared at the exclusive tropical hideaway, where 25 Fijian-styled villas are set amid coconut plantations, beside deserted beaches and atop the island’s volcanic mountains, overlooking fertile coral reefs and endless jungle.

Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
