The work behind the course

With 41 days to go until the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open 2026, Rory Taylor, Golf Course Superintendent, and his team are already hard at work across Mont Choisy Le Golf.

In this first behind-the-scenes video, you’ll see them trimming vegetation, clearing branches and tending to the edges of the course. It’s practical, hands-on work that can easily go unnoticed during a round, but it all helps shape the course players will experience during tournament week.

Preparing a course for a major tournament takes more than a final tidy-up. It’s built through the care given throughout the year, with the team keeping an eye on the playing areas and the wider landscape.

Every task has its place, from clearing overgrowth to making sure the course looks as good as it plays.

Much of this work happens away from the attention of players and spectators. But when tournament week arrives, the team’s effort will be part of what everyone sees and experiences at Mont Choisy.

We’ll be sharing more of the people and work behind the scenes as we get ready to welcome the tournament from 10 to 13 December 2026.
