Golf du Bassin Bleu

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Golf du Bassin Bleu to avoid the heat and rain?

We recommend aiming for the dry season, typically May to November, for the most comfortable rounds. You'll find the trade winds keep things pleasant, but even then, an early morning tee time is your best bet to beat the midday sun and any afternoon showers that might roll in.

What makes Golf du Bassin Bleu a unique challenge compared to other courses on Reunion Island?

This course truly stands out with its dramatic elevation changes and the constant presence of the Indian Ocean. The strong crosswinds coming off the sea can make club selection tricky, especially on the exposed holes, and those volcanic rock hazards aren't just for show - they'll punish any errant shots.

After a round at Bassin Bleu, what's a local experience you'd recommend nearby?

Don't just head back to your hotel; embrace the local vibe. We suggest grabbing a 'carri' (Creole curry) at a small restaurant in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, just a short drive away, and enjoying the sunset over the lagoon. It's the perfect way to unwind and soak in the island's charm.

How easy is it to get to Golf du Bassin Bleu, and do I need a rental car?

While Reunion Island has public transport, we strongly recommend renting a car for flexibility, especially to reach the course. It's located a bit off the main tourist hubs, and having your own wheels makes exploring the island's other incredible sights, like the Piton de la Fournaise, much easier.

Is playing Golf du Bassin Bleu worth the green fee, and what can I expect for the price?

Absolutely, it's a premium experience on the island, and the green fee reflects that. You're paying for impeccably maintained fairways, stunning ocean vistas on nearly every hole, and a truly unique tropical golf adventure that you won't find just anywhere. Consider a twilight rate for a slightly better value and a spectacular sunset finish.
