From the moment I stumbled across the Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa in Mauritius, I just knew it was something extraordinary.
As a couple who thrives on the buzz of great golf courses, finding a spot that combines the game we love with jaw-dropping scenery feels like striking gold.
And Paradis Beachcomber, tucked away on the breathtaking Le Morne Peninsula, nails it—a perfect mix of golfing excitement and tropical bliss.
First Impressions: Stepping into a Postcard
Arriving at Paradis Beachcomber is like stepping straight into a dream. Picture dramatic mountains cascading into crystal-clear waters—it’s a scene that feels lifted from the silver screen.
This perfect fusion of raw natural beauty and a peaceful vibe pulls you in instantly, making every moment feel effortlessly magical.
The Heart of the Resort: The Golf Experience
At the centre of the resort is its renowned 18-hole championship golf course, crafted by the talented David Dutton and Tony Johnstone.
Since its opening in 1992, it has drawn golfers who seek both a challenge and a scenic backdrop. Every hole offers its own adventure, but there are a few standouts:
- 6th Hole (Par 3): The uphill play against the backdrop of Le Morne Mountain isn’t just a game; it’s a visual feast.
- 16th Hole (Par 4): Deciding how much of the Indian Ocean to tackle to land on the peninsula green mixes excitement with a touch of nerve and strategy.
- 18th Hole: Finishing the game over a green encircled by palms is like the final scene in an epic movie.
The layout is mostly straight, with a few sneaky doglegs and strategically placed bunkers to keep things interesting. When you reach the par-3 6th, you’ll feel Le Morne’s full presence.
The mountain is right there, giving you a quiet nod of encouragement—or maybe judgment—as you face the 142-yard uphill shot. It’s one of those holes that sticks in your memory long after the scorecard is forgotten.
The 7th, a par-5 dogleg right, leads you to a raised green with water lurking on the right, just to keep you honest. At the 8th, there’s a tight drive to contend with before a water-crossing approach to a green guarded by bunkers.
And the 9th? This one is a real gem, with water running along the right side, daring you to go for it on your second shot.
Luckily, there’s a halfway hut at the turn offering skewers of fresh fruit to get you recharged for what’s next
The Back Nine: Where the Magic Happens
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the back nine serves up a masterclass in golf course design.
As you approach the 12th, the course treats you to an ocean view, and it sticks around for the 13th as well.
And then comes the 16th hole, which, honestly, could be the most fun on the course.
It’s a short par-4, but you’ll need to decide just how much of the Indian Ocean you want to flirt with to reach the peninsula green.
It’s an all-or-nothing moment that just might become your best story of the trip.
Finally, the course wraps up with the grand 18th. This dogleg right goes over water to a raised green ringed by palm trees, with bunkers ready to catch any lazy approach shots.
It’s the perfect finish to a round that’s equal parts challenge and postcard-worthy scenery. And with greens as well-kept as these, you’ll feel the putts roll true from start to finish.
