Best Golf Courses in Mauritius
The ideal setting to test your swing: from the panoramic golf courses to the oldest in Mauritius
Mauritius is located in the Indian Ocean, about 800 km east of Madagascar and is a volcanic island known for the human warmth of its multicultural population, white beaches and luxury hotels. Thanks to the tropical climate, temperatures rarely drop below 22°C along the coast even during the cooler seasons (particularly from May to September), making Mauritius the perfect destination for a trip at any time of the year. The island is also the ideal destination for golf lovers, in fact many passionate golfers go to Mauritius to combine their holiday with their favorite sport in a perfect setting: the green of the lush vegetation on one side and the blue of the ocean on the other.
Mauritius is an island of modest size, but at the same time it is a land of great firsts. In fact, in addition to hosting two UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean is the third country in the world to have been introduced to the sport of golf since 1844 and, since then, the tradition has remained and the island now has ten eighteen-hole golf courses and three nine-hole golf courses. Below are some golf clubs where you can play golf in Mauritius immersed in the beauty of nature.
