Tamarina GC

Tamarina GC- hole 2

History 

Tamarina Golf Club was designed by the architect Rodney Wright, and opened for play in 2006.

Wright was responsible for a host of international course designs in Hawaii, Japan, China etc.

He also designed the Constance Belle Mare Plage Links Course in Mauritius.

Course

Tamarina is a lovely course in a magic environment.

The golfing landscapes are overlooked by the majestic Rempart Mountain range on quite a number of holes and gives the course a unique atmosphere.

Combine that with the occasional view of the ocean and you have a memorable golfing experience.

And there are some special holes- certainly the par 5 fourth hole grabs your attention!

The tee shot through a narrow chute in the trees and over the Rempart river is pretty as a picture, but the split approach up and around a tree needs serious consideration!!

And the big drop par 3 thirteenth is a thrilling hole..

Tamarina GC- hole 13

Notable holes include:

- hole 2 (Clarence), a strong handsome par 4 with the Rempart Mountain dominating the backdrop. (see pic top of page)

- hole 3 (Sugarfield), a par 5 with the same mountain landscapes and a well bunkered approach

- hole 5 (Yemen), a very interesting par 5 with a tee shot through a chute of trees and over marshland and a large tree splitting the approach lines..

- hole 7 (Le Rempart), the hardest hole on the course is a par 4,  and is also overlooked by the Rempart Mountain. The approach here is key.. 

Tamarina GC- hole 7

- hole 13 (Le Barachois), a massive dropshot hole from way up in the clouds to a green at river level. Spectacular! (see pic mid page)

- hole 17 (Le Mirador), another stunning par 3 over bunkers and water.

Tamarina is one of the better courses in Mauritius and should be included in all golfing itineraries.
