Golf in Mauritius
Being an ancient colony of the British Empire, golf
is practiced in Mauritius since 1902
when the first Golf club (The Gymkhana)
was open by the Royal Navy members. Today, with its
dozen 18-hole golf courses and as many 9-holes, Mauritius
has become a Golf destination. Most
of them are within hotel resorts, designed
up to world championship standards. Semi-independent
Golf courses are now accessible to
tourists. (Please refer to list below.) |
The Gymkhana Club
being the most ancient golf course of Mauritius
may not feature all the complexities of modern golf
courses, but it is perfectly maintained. It is surely
the most affordable 18-hole course
of Mauritius as it welcomes non-members for a nominal
green fee and has a temporary membership solution. The
course is a par 68 of 4,870 meters long. Lessons can
be booked. Its only drawbacks remain its situation and
the weather conditions. The Gymkhana is situated in
Vacoas, roughly in the middle of the country where the
rainfall is highest; it implies a fairly long drive
from any coast.
