“Favour the left of the fairway on your drive and let the natural slope feed your ball to the center. Calculate the distance to the left bunker from the tee and play short of it. On your approach, avoid going right or long.”

Pro Tip: 1st Hole – ‘Lava Rock’

“A good tee shot must carry a natural pond and volcanic lava rock-face. The second shot should be aimed at the left-hand side of the generous green, sloping towards the guarding bunkers.”

As the first Mauritian course constructed to USGA standards, you’ll find large fairways and long greens which entice power but also require accuracy.

Pro Tip: 1st Hole ‘Tortoise Corner’

“Straight into the mix with an opening hole that is no push-over. You’ve got to hit a good tee shot to avoid the deep fairway bunker on the right, so maybe go with lofted-metal. The green slopes from left-to-right, so favour the left half with your approach shot and the ball should feed-in from there.“

Pro Tip: 1st Hole

“A relatively easy and short par-4, but take care with your drive as there is water on both sides of the fairway. Most players will elect for a long iron or 3 wood which will still leave them a short iron shot to the green. If played carefully, there is a good opportunity to start your round off with a birdie.“
