While Mark Twain is often misquoted as saying “Golf is a good walk spoiled”, what he almost certainly did say was that "you gather the idea that Mauritius was created first, and then heaven; and that heaven was copied after Mauritius." And he’s right. This is a sumptuously gorgeous island, even without its dozen and more lovely courses. Most of the golf is dotted along the beautiful, jagged coastline, although the oldest club is a few miles inland at Vacoas, the historic Gymkhana Club.
