Golf in Mauritius is the sport travelers should not miss in this island country. Mauritius Tours should never give golfing here a miss. Mauritius Golf has taken on an all new dimension with about a dozen 18-hole golf courses containing 9 holes. Most of the courses are located within resorts, designed according to international standards. Golf in Mauritius also takes in the semi independent patches like the 18-hole Ile aux Cerfs course on the east coast. Non residents can also access them.
With a colonial past, Golf in Mauritius has become a much sought after sport or recreation. Golf was practiced here since 1902 when the first club, The Gymkhana, opened by the members of the Royal Navy. This is the most affordable 18-hole course welcoming non-members for a nominal green fee. It also has a temporary membership solution.
Golf in Mauritius also takes in the South East Coast, home to the Shandrani Hotel Golf Course. This is a 9-hole field with par 29 of 776 meters. Located by the sea, with a tee 100 meters from the reception, this golf hub is accessible free to all hotel guests. The public can gain access against a green fee. The Legend is a superb 18-hole course designed by the South African golf champion Hugh Baiocchi. The course is a par 72 of 6,014 meters. It is freely accessible only to the residents of Prince Maurice Hotel and the Belle Mare Plage Hotel.
Golf tours in Mauritius in the South Coast acquire a new momentum with the Golf du Chateau, an international 18-hole golf course. This field was designed by the South African architect, Peter Matkovitch. The Paradis Golf Club on the West Coast enjoys the most impressive location, being situated at the foot of the Le Morne Mountain and on the shore.
