Avalon Golf & Country Club, also styled Avalon Golf Estate, is an 18-hole championship course in the Bois Chéri highlands of southern Mauritius. The club and Mauritius Golf Federation both credit South African architect Peter Matkovich with the design. The course occupies rolling, elevated ground more than 300 metres above sea level, surrounded by tea-growing country rather than the coastal resort setting used by many Mauritian courses.
Avalon's official description says Matkovich incorporated the prevailing winds into the routing, balancing holes that play with and against the normal wind direction. The club is open beyond a purely residential membership model: it promotes public introductory golf and offers member-guest play as well as tee-time booking. Practice infrastructure is extensive, including a 280-metre driving range with grass and synthetic hitting areas, a large chipping green with two bunkers, two putting greens and a covered practice area.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. The course was designed by Peter Matkovich. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Pro shop, Driving range, Chipping green, Practice bunkers, Putting greens, Covered practice area, Golf instruction, and 4 more.
Avalon was developed as the golf centrepiece of a 220-hectare residential and leisure estate in the Bois Chéri region. Unlike many of Mauritius's resort courses, the property occupies elevated inland terrain among tea-growing fields in the south-central part of the island.
Peter Matkovich used the exposed highland conditions as part of the routing. The official club says holes were balanced to play both with and against the prevailing winds. Few trees line the course, while existing vegetation and tree ferns form part of the landscape.
The golf operation has been supplemented by a substantial practice complex, coaching programmes and a three-storey clubhouse. The estate also developed residential plots and a broader set of recreation and dining facilities.
Avalon achieved GEO Certified status for sustainable golf-course operation. The club states that it was the first course in the Indian Ocean and the third in Africa to achieve the certification at the time.
Avalon operates as an 18-hole championship golf estate with membership, guest play, coaching and public introductory programmes. Its current practice facilities include a full-length 280-metre range, short-game facilities and two putting greens.
