Tamarina 18-hole Championship Golf Course has a beautiful layout and is only 20 minutes drive north of the Paradis Hotel. The Par 72 course, designed by Rodney Wright, undulates over 43 hectares of rugged savanna land and is framed with mature trees and crossed by the Rempart River. Holes have been specially designed to give spectacular views of Mount Rempart and the towering mountain range while some holes have views of Tamarin Bay. Golfers will love the contrast between the rough surroundings and the smooth rolling greens and wide fairways that adds to the experience of Tamarina golf course.

Thie 18-hole golf course, designed by South African golf architect, Peter Matkovich, is located 20 minutes drive east from the the Paradis Hotel and features wide, undulating fairways, 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 sea views. A number of holes feature tricky elevations and blind greens while most fairways are narrow adding to the challenging course. 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 also find it an enjoyable experience.
