When to visit Mauritius for golf: The best courses, resorts and travel tips
With year-round golfing opportunities, beachfront resorts and courses designed to challenge players of different abilities, the island is an ideal destination for those looking to combine their love of golf with a relaxing holiday.
Mauritius offers a unique combination of golf and island luxury, making it an appealing destination for South African golf enthusiasts. The island provides championship courses, resort accommodations, and a tropical climate that allows for year-round golfing. Travel specialists Pentravel recommend considering the best time to visit Mauritius for golf, the ideal resorts to stay at, and essential travel tips before booking.
The cooler winter months, from May to October, provide the most comfortable playing conditions, with temperatures ranging from 19°C to 26°C, lower humidity, and less rainfall. Pack a light jacket for early morning rounds and a windbreaker due to the southeast trade winds that can increase during this period. Pentravel suggests booking golf tee times at least three months in advance, especially for popular morning starts, to secure preferred accommodation and avoid disappointment.
Resort groups like Beachcomber Resorts and Heritage Resorts cater to golf enthusiasts by providing access to golf facilities. Heritage Resorts offers access to the award-winning Heritage Golf Club, featuring courses such as Le Château Golf Course and La Réserve Golf Links. Beachcomber Resorts, situated beneath the iconic Le Morne Mountain, offer one of the island's renowned golfing destinations, such as Beachcomber Paradis Golf Club and Canonnier Beachcomber Mauritius.
Both resort groups also provide additional experiences for couples and families, including children's clubs, complimentary land and water sports, and spacious accommodation.
Golf equipment rentals and professional coaching are available at both Heritage and Beachcomber Resorts, allowing visitors to travel light. Regardless of the season, Mauritius offers championship courses, luxury beachfront accommodations, tropical scenery, and year-round playing opportunities. The ideal time to visit depends on personal preferences, with May to October offering cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and less rainfall, while November to April provides warmer weather, lush green courses, and ample beach time between rounds.
