Mauritius Gymkhana Club

What Mauritius Gymkhana Club does

Mauritius Gymkhana Club is a private members sports and social club headquartered on Suffolk Road in Vacoas, Mauritius. Founded in 1849 (with golf played on its grounds since 1844), the club was originally established as the Mauritius Naval and Military Gymkhana Club to serve British officers and transitioned to civilian governance in 1976, when the Royal Navy handed control to a member-elected Executive Committee. The club is now open to Mauritians, expatriates, and visitors without distinction of race, creed, colour, or religion.

The club's core product portfolio is built around a single physical campus that includes an 18-hole par-68 golf course (the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere, at 5.6 km), eight grass tennis courts (the only grass courts in the Indian Ocean), a squash court, a fitness center offering group classes (Yoga, Muay Thai, Zumba, Spinning, HIIT, Aqua Gym), a heated swimming pool, a FootFive pitch, and a Food & Beverages division operating four dining venues (Main Restaurant seating 110, Swimming Pool Terrace seating 70, Sport Bar & Lounge seating 30, and Bar & Lounge), plus a Multipurpose Hall and Conference Room for events. The infrastructure is legacy in nature, with grass courts dating to the 1940s-50s and a golf course in continuous use since 1844.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring membership subscriptions and usage-based fees across sports and hospitality. Members subscribe through tiered plans (Full, Corporate, Honorary, Senior, Temporary) approved by the Executive Committee, and pay separate green fees, court fees, coaching fees, and F&B charges. Pricing is denominated in Mauritian Rupees at modest per-unit levels (e.g., member 18-hole green fee Rs 500, tennis hourly Rs 100, fitness monthly Rs 790). Non-members can access the club through visitor green fees (Rs 2,100), Mauritian non-member green fees (Rs 1,150), visitor annual golf packages (Rs 35,000), and guest passes. The club also maintains reciprocal arrangements with 25+ international clubs across India, UK, Kenya, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, and Malaysia, extending member benefits globally. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer through membership application and committee approval, supplemented by referrals from existing members and the affiliated club network.
