Golfing in Mauritius: Live Where You Play
Mauritius is widely known as a luxury holiday destination—with its pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and lush mountain backdrops. But beyond the palm-fringed resorts lies a hidden gem for golf lovers: an island that’s fast becoming one of the world’s top golfing destinations. With a blend of world-class golf courses and tropical island living, Mauritius offers an unmatched opportunity to live where you play.
A Rich Golfing Heritage
Golf is deeply woven into the fabric of Mauritius. Home to the oldest golf course in the Southern Hemisphere, the Gymkhana Golf Club (est. 1902), the island’s passion for the game spans more than a century. Originally built by the British military, Gymkhana is still open to the public and represents the roots of the sport on the island.
Fast forward to today, and Mauritius boasts 13 exceptional golf courses, many crafted by some of the biggest names in golf—Ernie Els, Gary Player, Peter Matkovich, Bernhard Langer, and Rodney Wright. These designers have transformed Mauritius into a golfer’s paradise, where volcanic backdrops meet oceanfront fairways, and every round is a scenic adventure.
World-Class Courses, Tropical Settings
Each course in Mauritius offers a unique experience, blending championship-level design with jaw-dropping landscapes. A few standouts include:
- Anahita Golf Club (Designed by Ernie Els)
Nestled on the east coast, this 18-hole championship course plays alongside the ocean and through groves of palm trees and indigenous forest. It’s also a regular host of international tournaments. - Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club (Designed by Bernhard Langer)
Accessible only by boat, this course sits on its own private island. It’s one of the most visually spectacular courses in the world. - Heritage Golf Club (Designed by Peter Matkovich)
Located in the south, this course is framed by mountains and ocean. It hosts the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, the only tournament sanctioned by the European Tour, Sunshine Tour, and Asian Tour.
