Sun, incomparable climate, crystal blue sea, glittering green, these are the elements that make the islands a paradise on earth. A paradise where you can also play golf.
Praslin, in particular, has one of the most enchanting locations that a golfer can hope to encounter. Accessible by boat, but more easily in fifteen minutes by air from Mahe, by order of magnitude is the second largest island of the archipelago of the Seychelles, and in the northwestern part, since October 2000, offers the spectacle of Lemuria Golf.
