With some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, golf in Mauritius has so much to offer when it comes a bucket-list, all-inclusive trip. We selected some of our favourite courses to play in the place of paradise.
The accessible island in the middle of the Indian Ocean is a total paradise, home to 10 beautiful golf courses that rank among the most picturesque in the world. For those seeking unforgettable Mauritius golf holiday packages, this destination offers a perfect blend of luxury, all-inclusive indulgence, and stunning scenery. But what are the best golf courses in Mauritius?
With many of the layouts under 20 years old, it would be easy to dismiss the standard of golf. Do not be fooled though; in a short period, Mauritius has established itself on the world golfing stage, with the European Tour and Legends Tour already visiting annually.
Here are the very best golf courses in Mauritius, perfect for your next bucket-list golf trip!
Opened in 2023, La Réserve Golf Links is the latest edition to the Mauritius golf scene and is the island's first and only links-style golf course. Despite its youth, this unique layout has already gained international recognition for its innovative design and breathtaking setting, and is already considered the top golf course in Mauritius!
Designed by renowned golfer Louis Oosthuizen and Peter Matkovich, it features rolling fairways, elevation changes, rugged bunkers, and stunning ocean views, creating a true links feel reminiscent of traditional Scottish courses. It is part of the luxury Heritage resort and golf club, situated in the south of the island, with a focus on sustainability and preserving the natural environment. Players can enjoy panoramic vistas of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding nature reserve, making it an unforgettable experience and a true modern great!
The layout was built to a USGA standard in 2008 by South African golf stalwart Ernie Els. Having hosted the AfrAsia Golf Masters for 5 years between 2010 and 2014, Anahita Golf Course has already built a strong case as one of the best golf courses in Mauritius. 6 of the holes are played alongside the irrepressible Indian Ocean coastline with amazing vistas throughout the rest of the course.
Formerly regarded as the #1 golf course in Mauritius and the big sibling of La Reserve Golf Links, Le Chateau is a must-play on the island and is part of the wider five-star Heritage Golf Resort, one of the top golf resorts in Mauritius. Wide fairways and forgiving greens make Le Chateau look easy at first glance, but the sheer number of water hazards means your approach game needs to be precise.
With five tee positions on each hole, the layout is accessible to all levels of golfers. The final hole is a grand finish with an elevated tee allowing for stunning views. Drive off to the left and try to hit the green in two on the par-5 before enjoying a refreshment in the venue’s wonderful clubhouse.
Located on a secluded island off the east coast of Mauritius, Ile Aux Cerfs Golf Course is a must-visit for golf enthusiasts and is regarded as one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world. Designed by Bernhard Langer, this par-72 championship course offers a unique blend of challenge and beauty. Every hole boasts breathtaking views of the turquoise lagoons, white sandy beaches, and lush tropical vegetation.
The course is known for its strategic layout, with water hazards and volcanic rock features adding to the challenge. Accessible only by boat, Île aux Cerfs provides a secluded and luxurious experience, making it a highlight of any golf trip to Mauritius.
Set in a former hunting preserve, the natural landscape at Constance Belle Mare Plage is something to behold. Much like many of the courses in Mauritius, water comes into play throughout. The 17th hole is our favourite on the island. The spectacular par-3 plays across a small arm of the Indian Ocean on the seafront at Bras Requin Bay to a tough green and really will take your breath away.
A decade-old, Tamarina is perfectly located next to the mouth of the Rempart River as it approaches the Indian Ocean. The backdrop is just as spellbinding with views of the peaks of Trois Mamelles. Don’t be distracted for long though as the golf is just as good. The fairness of Tamarina is striking alongside a great variation of holes.
With tea plantations in sight on the mountain slopes that surround Avalon, the layout has been described as a “golfing garden of Eden”. Small creeks and streams come into play throughout this tricky course which features 2 incredibly interesting short par 4’s. Both the 4th and 17th are a classic risk and reward type holes with water coming in to play on both. Get it right on these two teasers and a birdie could be on the cards!
Set across a narrow peninsula, Le Paradis well and truly lives up to its name and is quite simply golfing heaven. The layout takes in the blue water of the bay next to it as well as the grand Morne Mountains. The opening nine ends with a tricky par-4 with the bay lurking all the way down the right-hand side and the green built into the marina. The back 9 then really takes off with some incredible holes to enjoy amongst a utopian setting.
Mont Choisy boasts arguably the best golfing facilities on the whole of the island. Situated in the north of Mauritius, the layout is set on a former sugar cane plantation and full of testing water features. Volcanic rock is also prominent throughout, next to the luscious rolling fairways. Don’t be fooled by the length of the track either, at 6,200 yards Mont Choisy will still prove a tough test.
The Links Course is the more accessible layout of the two at Constance Belle Mare Plage. This unique design also features plenty of water hazards to avoid with a spectacular closing hole alongside the waters of Bras Requin Bay. Co-designer Peter Alliss regularly retreats here and it’s no secret why with unparalleled views and a top-end resort nearby.
