Projects that we have worked on:

Laucala Island Resort – Laucala, Fiji

Laucala Island Resort is an idyllic island experience. The 18-hole championship course, designed by Scotsman, David McLay Kidd, has been carved out of a palm tree plantation with breathtaking views over the South-Pacific Ocean. Although rated as a championship course, a variety of tee options creates the perfect balance – challenging to the more accomplished player, yet fun and user friendly for the lesser mortal.

It is remarkable to see the creation of the golf course on such a remote piece of land whilst integrating the mountain, sea and island vegetation. The design features wonderful elevation changes with natural trees and shrubbery surrounding each fairway.

MWG will be responsible for providing the ultimate five-star golfing experience at Laucala Island Resort.
