About the club
Mauritius Gymkhana Club is a private members’ club on Suffolk Road in Vacoas, in the uplands of Plaines Wilhems a few minutes from Curepipe. Its golf course dates from 1844 and is claimed as the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere, and the club was formally founded in 1849. The tennis section has eight grass courts, which the club describes as the only manicured grass courts in the Indian Ocean. The grass is played from May to November, with the rest of the year given over to recovery. Coaching covers a junior academy for ages 5 to 17, holiday clinics, adult clinics and private lessons. The club also has two padel courts, a gym, a five-a-side pitch and a brasserie, and holds reciprocal arrangements with 26 sister clubs. Court fees are published for members, guests and visitors, with bookings made through the front desk.
