There are a number of choices which will help you to accommodate your passion for golf. Whether your preference is for eighteen-hole or nine-hole golfing, there are a dozen of each from which you can select the one that suits you the best. While most of the island's hotel resorts have their own lovely golf courses, you may also like to try the huge, gorgeous course at the Gymkhana Club. Non-members are welcome for a nominal green fee. It is situated in Vacoas in the middle of the island, so it's quite a long drive from the other areas.

An exciting and impressive new development is Anahita on the east coast of Mauritius. It's more a community than a resort - with an Ernie Els golf course all intertwined with promenades and walkways.
