Acclaimed course architect Peter Matkovich has opened his latest course on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, with the unveiling in November 2017 of the impressive new Mont Choisy Le Golf estate. The first 18-hole golf course in the north of the island, the course is just minutes from the resorts of ever-popular Grand Baie. It combines both links and tropical- parkland layouts in a challenging, yet forgiving, resort-style course. Beachcomber Resorts & Hotels is the preferred hotel partner, and guests at Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa are offered pre-booked tee times at preferential rates, exclusive golf carts and reserved locker space in the new clubhouse. montchoisygolf.com
