A recreational area

By 1946, out of the nearly 4,000 hectares of plantation established by Stewart, only 1,500 remained. Jean Bréaud, the founder of the Banque de Tahiti, then bought them, continuing with agricultural operations, vegetable gardening, sugar cane, distillation, and coffee.

In 1962, a year after the opening of Tahiti Faa'a Airport, the idea emerged to develop a tourist complex on this magnificent estate, centered around an 18-hole golf course. Only the golf course was eventually realized and inaugurated in 1970, with the help of Hawaiian architect Bob E. Baldock, a designer and creator of over 60 golf courses worldwide. The course is named after Olivier Bréaud, the son of its founder, who died in 1980 under tragic circumstances.

Just one year after its opening, the golf course hosted the 1971 Pacific Games.

In 2023, Polynesians had the pleasure of celebrating its jubilee, originally scheduled for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic.

In 2009, a compact 9-hole course, created in 2007-2008 by the founder of the Moorea course, Jean-Louis Grégory, was added to the existing 18 holes that stretch between the road, on the sea side, and the mountain, with fairways lined with ancient trees and small streams sleeping under tall grass. The main challenge of the course lies in the length of the holes, thick rough, and greens well protected by deep bunkers.
