Disc Golf Takes Flight in Tropical Paradise

Mauritius, a picturesque island nation in the Indian Ocean off Africa's southeast coast, has become the latest destination to fall under the spell of disc golf. With its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush landscapes, it's no wonder that this tropical paradise is attracting attention from enthusiasts around the world.

Thanks to the PDGA's Marco Polo Program, which provides grants to help establish new disc golf courses in developing countries, Mauritius has been able to welcome two brand-new courses to its shores. The Tamarin Eagles Disc Golf Club, led by President Yusuf Beharry, has been instrumental in bringing disc golf to the island nation.

The club has already made a name for itself with the hosting of several team-building exercises for local companies and even organized a PDGA-sanctioned tournament on the island last year. Plans are now underway for another major event in 2022, which is set to draw players from across the region.

But it's not just about competition – disc golf has also become an integral part of Mauritius' social scene. The local club estimates that there are around 2,000 players on the island, and they're working tirelessly to build a thriving community of enthusiasts. To complement its existing courses at Heritage Golf Club and Bagatelle Golf Park, a third course is set to be built at Mont Choisy, one of the island's most popular beaches.

This new course will boast an innovative design that incorporates trees alongside the open tracks found at Heritage and Bagatelle, providing players with a diverse range of challenges and experiences. It's clear that disc golf has taken root in Mauritius, and it's exciting to think about what the future holds for this rapidly growing community.
