Tamarina Golf, Spa & Beach Club: One of three excellent championship courses in the south of Mauritius, Tamarina exudes a wonderfully "out of Africa" feel, likened by many to the fabulous Gary Player course in Sun City.
The surrounding ring of mountains, which includes the distinctive shark's tooth peak of Le Rempart and the three jagged peaks of Trois Mamelles, provides a fabulous backdrop to many holes. Although part of a residential development, the properties are discreetly set back, allowing the beauty and wild ruggedness of the natural environment to dominate.
The excellently crafted layout, where no two holes look or feel the same, provides a mix of testing and easier-going drives. After generous width fairways at the opening quartet, the par-5 5th (Yemen) provides a daunting tee-shot over the River Rempart to a distant marker post; then decide if its the high or low road you take to the green. At the risk-reward par-5 11th (Snake Eyes) you are invited to take the short-route (over two snake-eye bunkers), giving a shorter, easier approach into the green.
The 13th (Le Barachois) is a wonderfully plunging downhill par-3, flanked on its leftside by the River Rempart. Like many of the green surrounds at Tamarina an impressive array of large bunkers, slick run-offs and clinging bermuda grass will provide a thorough test for your full short game repertoire.
In this often open, rolling environment, an impressive variety of flora complements the spectacular mountain scenery, with plenty of tamarin trees in the mix, together with colourful bushes and a variety of grasses, both short and long.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted. Golf carts with GPS available for hire.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
