Is this heaven?

The One & Only Touessrok Golf Club is a truly stunning venue; it occupies its own island, Ile aux Cerfs Tsksm02a4goff the coast of Mauritius, and is surrounded by a spectacular coral reef. Add in azure blue waters lapping at white sand beaches and the backdrop of an ancient volcanic mountain, it provides a totally unique golfing experience with 18 holes of ocean view.

The Bernhard Langer designed course is 7,082 off the championship tees, requiring a wide variety of shots, and many Ltgdc7726dg12_4 risk and reward options.
