Mauritius combines resort-based golf with a compact island road network, making it practical to pair rounds with beach stays, dining and sightseeing. Courses are spread across the coast and interior, with layouts shaped by volcanic terrain, tropical vegetation, lagoons and trade winds. Many visitors base themselves in the north, east or southwest and use transfers or a hire car to reach tee times. Availability can be influenced by resort guests, maintenance schedules and seasonal demand, so advance booking is sensible at peak times.
Playing conditions vary by region and time of day. The cooler, drier period from May to October is often preferred for walking, while November to April brings warmer, more humid weather and a greater chance of showers, especially in summer. Coastal breezes can make exposed holes more demanding, and tropical rain may briefly interrupt play. Lightweight rainwear, sun protection and hydration are useful in every season. Check dress codes, cart policies, caddie availability and transfer times directly with each venue. Mauritius uses left-hand traffic; driving between regions can take longer than map distances suggest, particularly around busy towns.
