Tamarina Golf Club
Rodney Wright carved Tamarina out of a former sugar estate above Tamarin Bay in 2006, a par 72 that climbs the slopes of Rempart mountain on the wild west coast of Mauritius. It runs firm and fast across savannah and old cane terraces, with the lagoon and the Indian Ocean filling the views, and welcomes visitors every day at a green fee around €112 for 18 holes in 2026.

The verdict
Tamarina is the most dramatic golf on Mauritius, a championship par 72 that Rodney Wright shaped across the rugged hinterland of the Tamarin valley in 2006. Where the island's other resort courses sit flat among the palms, Tamarina rolls over hillside, ravine and savannah beneath the Rempart and Trois Mamelles peaks, the fairways framed by acacia and the ocean glinting below.
It plays as a genuine test, generous off the tee in places but demanding on the approach, with elevation change and the trade wind to read on almost every shot. The estate setting is private and unhurried, the conditioning is good year round, and access is refreshingly open, with visitors welcome daily and a tee time straightforward to arrange. For a golfer basing a trip on the west coast around Flic en Flac and Tamarin, it is the round to build the week around.

The holes worth the trip
Tamarina is a course of movement and view, the front nine working out across the higher savannah ground with the Rempart peak looming above and the fairways tumbling between belts of acacia. The turf is firm and the ball runs, so the line off the tee and the angle into the green matter far more than raw length, and the trade wind off the ocean rarely lets you settle.
The middle of the round delivers the drama, downhill par 4s that release toward the valley floor and a run of holes that frame Tamarin Bay and the lagoon beyond. The greens are bold and well bunkered, and the elevation changes ask for careful club selection on the approach.
The closing stretch climbs back toward the clubhouse with the sea at your back, a fitting end to a round that feels more safari than seaside. Tamarina rewards the thinking golfer who plots a route and controls trajectory in the wind, and it gives back the most scenic and varied golf on the island.
