Laucala in Fijij by David McLay Kidd

Has anyone played this course?  It is at an ultra-exclusive private island in Fiji that is owned by the guy that owns Red Bull.  It is supposed to be a fantastic resort but it starts at about $4k/night.  That makes Kauri Cliffs seem low-end in comparison.

Wayne:

Do you mean, has anyone on GCA played it, or, has ANYONE played it?

Sounds like the ultimate rater quest.

More than former than the latter.

Saw the island Laucala is on from a distance while snorkeling in Fiji on my honeymoon. I had to settle for Nadi Airport GC, the course Vijay grew up on. The pro, who caddied and played with Vijay when they were kids told me that at the peak of Vijay's success the membership expected him to "give back" to the club, but they waited for 10 years and then gave up hope. "If I put a picture up in the shop of Vijay Singh the members would make me take it down," he said. "They would rather see a picture of Tiger Woods. There are very few who still root for Vijay Singh."
