From Bretagne to Bel Ombre: Golf, the Mathieu Gloaguen Way ⛳️

Some partners you recognise straight away. Mathieu Gloaguen, founder of golf tour operator My Golf Trip, is one of them. Behind the title of France's Best Outbound Golf Tour Operator at the 2023 World Golf Awards in Abu Dhabi stands a man shaped by the unforgiving links of Brittany — someone who made precision his trademark long before any award confirmed it.

Brittany is more than a region of character. It is the cradle of French golf, home to century-old courses like Dinard Golf, founded in 1887. Carved by Atlantic winds and greens that leave no room for error, it is here that Mathieu developed a simple philosophy: a successful golf trip leaves nothing to chance. That conviction now travels with him all the way to the south of Mauritius, where Heritage Awali is waiting.

Mathieu, your Breton roots are a real signature. What has that golf culture given you?

"Breton courses test you completely — your technique, your patience, your ability to read the wind. It builds a standard you carry into everything you do. When I design a trip for my clients, I start from the same principle: nothing should be left to chance."

Why has Heritage Awali become the go-to destination for your groups?

"The combination is unbeatable. Le Château Golf for character and technique, La Réserve Links for world-class challenge — and between the two, a luxury All-Inclusive where the after-golf experience is as carefully crafted as the course itself. My clients want the full picture. Bel Ombre delivers it."

Managing group logistics from Brittany to the south of Mauritius is quite an undertaking. How do you approach it?

"Flights, transfers, tee times, each player's preferences — everything is mapped out in advance. But when the group arrives and sees Awali for the first time, and the smiles appear... those moments make every hour of preparation worthwhile."

« Golf is a promise. My job is to make sure Mauritius keeps it — on every swing. »

— Mathieu Gloaguen, My Golf Trip

From the Atlantic links of his native Brittany to the fairways of La Réserve, Mathieu Gloaguen has built more than an agency — he has built a vision of golf travel where the quality of the course and the warmth of the welcome are inseparable.

The momentum heading into 2026 is real. And when an operator of this calibre renews his trust in a Domaine, it is rarely a coincidence.
