Mauritius has always had a special relationship with golf. A former British colony, it became in 1844 the third territory in the world to develop this sport and, in 1902, hosted the Gymkhana course, the oldest golf course in the southern hemisphere. Since then, the island has become a true paradise for golf enthusiasts. Would you like to enjoy the island's magnificent greens yourself? Zoom on the most beautiful Mauritian golf courses!
