Golf
This excellent 18-hole golf course, designed by South African golf architect, Peter Matkovich, features mostly wide, undulating fairways, and large greens protected in many cases by water, strategically placed bunkers, and thick African elephant grass.

The course has scenery typical of Mauritius with its volcanic mountain backdrop and some breathtaking views out to sea.

A n umber of holes feature tricky elevations and blind greens, and, just when you think you are safe to lash out with a driver, the fairways narrow and the option of landing in the rough becomes too much of a risk. The courses two rivers, ‘Citronniers’ and ‘St Martin’, cross the fairways at unexpected places.

This course is designed to challenge advanced players, but, with five tee positions for each hole, and generous fairways, the casual golfer will find it enjoyable and will crave more than just one round.

For beginners or golfers wanting to hone their short game, there is also a 9-hole par 3 course on the site.

A PGA run state-of-the-art golf academy and driving range, with top- rate instruction completes this course

Le Telfair residents are able to access the course via golf cart through a private pathway and may either walk the course or take golf carts.
