Paradis
Paradis Hotel & Golf Club: This well presented and wonderfully scenic golf course occupies a special position on Le Morne Peninsula in the south-west of Mauritius. The front-nine scenery is dominated by a towering mountain, which rises vertically to over 500 metres, its craggy cliff faces looking down on this excellently crafted championship course.
The lightly palm-tree lined, never overly wide fairways are liberally defended by large, open bunkers that also make their presence felt around the small to medium-sized greens. Although one or two fairway-crossing water channels will need to be avoided on the front-nine, not least at the excellent risk-reward short par-4 8th, water poses its most serious threat on the back-nine.
The par-4 12th and 13th holes are played alongside the wonderfully scenic mountain-ringed Black River Lagoon, while the signature par-5 16th and par-3 17th holes are bounded both by the lagoon and the azure-blue splendour of the Indian Ocean. The 16th curves around the edge of the lagoon, inviting you to bite off as much of the curve as you dare, while a challenging approach shot awaits to a smallish green, defended on two sides by water.
Nicely elevated tees at the par-4 12th and 17th and a raised green at the par-5 7th create interesting topographical changes, although most of this tropical feeling layout is played on relatively flat terrain.
With its varied array of challenges and scenery, not least on the closing three holes of each nine, Paradis is one of the must play courses of Mauritius, in addition to being the island's first 18-hole championship layout.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted. Golf carts available for hire.

Paradis was the first 18-hole championship golf course established on Mauritius; the first of an impressive array of courses that have made Mauritius a "must visit" golf destination for the well travelled golfer.
Two flagship Beachcomber hotels are located alongside (although barely visible from) the golf course: the Paradis Hotel & Golf Club and Dinarobin Hotel Golf & Spa (see details below).

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
