Officially opened by Prime Minister Pravind
Jugnauth in October 2017, the 18-hole championship course at Mont Choisy Le
Golf is the central sporting component of a modern residential development in
the north of Mauritius, near the seaside resorts of Grand Baie and Trou aux
Biches. Set out by the prolific architect Peter Matkovich (who has already designed another couple of courses on the island in recent years at Heritage Golf Club and the Avalon Golf Estate) the course occupies a 250-acre property that was previously used as a sugar cane planation. Characterised by distinctive Mauritian landscaping
such as black volcanic rocky outcrops and waste areas, the palm-fringed
fairways are configured in a figure of eight routing around several small
lakes, with shimmering water hazards featuring prominently at several holes on
both nines. Standout holes include the delightful risk/reward
short par fours at the 305-metre 3rd and 275-metre 13th. The par five 5th hole
might appear on paper to present a real birdie opportunity but the prevailing
southeast trade winds on this hole might just have a big say in that. The signature hole is the short par three 15th,
played across a wetland area to an island green that’s framed by an old, tall
stone chimney which harks back to the Mont Choisy estate’s agricultural past. The round then concludes with the par five 18th
doglegging right towards the home green, where water to the right of the
putting surface will punish overly wayward approach shots. And after eighteen holes out on the course, what better way to relax and reflect on your round than by sitting in the clubhouse with a refreshing “Kitsoz,” a grapefruit-based cocktail from the estate’s own orchards. |
