Tamarina at Tamarina Golf Estate and Beach Club

Tamarina Golf Estate and Beach Club occupies a distinctive site along Mauritius's west coast near Tamarin Bay, where the island's volcanic topography meets the Indian Ocean. Designed by South African architect Rodney Wright and opened in 2008, the course navigates terrain that transitions from coastal lowlands through former sugarcane fields to the foothills of the Rempart Mountain range. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes uncommon in island resort golf, with several holes climbing into higher ground that offers views across the coastline and surrounding landscape.

The layout incorporates natural lava rock formations and indigenous vegetation characteristic of this part of Mauritius, with the Tamarin River influencing play on multiple holes. Wright's design works with the property's varied topography rather than imposing a uniform character, resulting in holes that range from relatively flat coastal stretches to more dramatic upland terrain. The course measures over 6,700 yards from the championship tees and features strategic bunkering and water hazards that reflect both the natural drainage patterns and the architect's intent to reward thoughtful course management.

Tamarina functions as the centerpiece of a residential golf estate that includes villa accommodations and club facilities. The property's location on the less-developed western side of Mauritius, away from the concentration of resorts on the island's northern and eastern coasts, contributes to a quieter setting. The club serves both resort guests and members, with the beach club component providing access to the nearby coastline and lagoon areas typical of this region.
