Why Golfers Are Talking About The Nine at Azuri Golf

The Nine at Azuri Golf stands out because it isn’t your typical resort course. It’s the only signature par-3 course in Mauritius and is designed for pure enjoyment, not just for a pro level challenge. What makes it truly special? Every hole faces the ocean, so you’ll play surrounded by steady breezes and views that make it hard to keep your eyes on the ball. The course weaves through the lush Azuri Ocean & Golf Village, offering a mix of technical holes and forgiving fairways. This setup means you can enjoy a relaxed round, perfect if you’re on holiday with friends or family of mixed golfing abilities.

Key Features:

• 9 holes, all par-3, making for a fast but memorable round
• Signature design focused on fun and flexibility for all levels
• Dramatic ocean views visible from almost every hole
• High-quality facilities and easy booking process

The shorter layout is ideal for visitors who want a golf experience without committing a whole day. After a round, you can easily slip into one of the local cafes, or take a beach swim. From my own experience living nearby, Azuri tends to stay less crowded than the island’s west coast hotspots, so you can expect a more tranquil round with plenty of space to play at your own pace.
