A world-class course, championship-level expertise, and the South Pacific’s most stunning fairways — here’s why Natadola Bay is Fiji’s premier golf destination.
Golf in Fiji is more than a sport — it’s an experience. With views that stretch across turquoise water, palm-fringed greens, and a challenging championship layout, the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course is setting a new standard for golf holidays in the Pacific.
Located on Fiji’s Coral Coast and managed by InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, Natadola Bay is already known to golf lovers around the world for its breathtaking scenery. Now, with the appointment of Rajiv Prasad as Golf Pro & Operations Manager, the course is entering an exciting new chapter focused on elite service, international growth, and player development.
The Course That Has It All
Designed by former World No.1 Vijay Singh, Natadola Bay’s 18-hole, par-72 course offers a rare blend of beauty and challenge. Set along a stretch of the Coral Coast, it features 15 ocean-view holes, rugged elevation changes, and lush rolling terrain that makes every round unforgettable.
The greens are laid with paspalum grass, ideal for tropical conditions and praised for its consistent speed and true roll. Combined with the ever-present sea breeze, the course offers the perfect mix of playability and strategic depth. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a casual golfer, Natadola’s layout invites you to think, feel, and enjoy every shot.
Meet Rajiv Prasad: A Global Talent Comes Home
Rajiv Prasad brings over 20 years of international golf experience to his new role. His impressive career spans major championships including The Masters, US Open, British Open, PGA Championship, and the Rio 2016 Olympics. He has worked closely with elite players on the Japan Golf Tour, including Shingo Katayama and Yuta Ikeda, and previously held key roles at Japan’s Fujizakura Country Club.
In his new role at Natadola Bay, Rajiv will lead golf operations, guest engagement, and player development — helping to position the course as one of the most sought-after golf destinations in the region.
“Rajiv’s appointment is a game-changer for Natadola Bay,” said Lachlan Walker, Regional General Manager – Fiji & Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “His championship-level insight and global perspective will raise the standard of golf experiences we offer and support our commitment to positioning Natadola Bay as the Pacific’s premier golfing destination.”
The Pacific’s Most Scenic Golf Destination
What sets Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course apart isn’t just the layout — it’s the environment. Towering coastal cliffs, swaying coconut trees, and panoramic ocean views make it one of the most scenic courses in the world.
No two rounds ever feel the same. The wind off the ocean adds a constantly shifting challenge, while the course’s ridges and slopes test your focus from tee to green. Photogenic from every angle, it’s a course where players regularly pause — not just to line up their shot, but to soak in the view.
Golf, Relaxation, and Island Hospitality
Golfing at Natadola isn’t just about performance — it’s about indulgence. After your round, you can retreat to the comfort of InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, which offers luxury beachfront accommodation, indulgent spa treatments, and world-class dining just steps from the course.
Customisable golf holiday packages are available for couples, groups, and visiting pros, combining tee times with tailored resort experiences. Whether it’s a long weekend escape or part of a full Fiji holiday itinerary, Natadola Bay delivers a holistic island golfing experience.
Looking Ahead: Growing Golf Tourism in Fiji
Fluent in English, Japanese, and Hindi, Rajiv Prasad is also helping Natadola Bay expand its visibility in international markets — especially Japan, where there’s a strong appetite for championship courses in tropical locations. His multilingual background and cultural understanding make him uniquely positioned to engage with overseas golfers while continuing to mentor and inspire local Fijian talent.
Why Natadola Belongs on Every Golfer’s Bucket List
For those chasing unforgettable golf in paradise, Natadola Bay offers the complete package: world-class design, spectacular coastal views, expert service, and the spirit of Fiji’s legendary hospitality. With a fresh new direction under Rajiv Prasad, the course is ready to welcome the next generation of golf travellers — and offer them something far beyond the ordinary.
