SouthChampionshipLa Réserve Golf Links
La Réserve Golf Links at Heritage Golf Club delivers an unparalleled experience of pure golfing drama. Co-designed by Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen — who describes the site as "truly spectacular, dramatic, and quite unique" — the course plays hand-in-hand with nature alongside a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, offering panoramic ocean views from every single hole. Inspired by the wild open spaces of the great seaside links traditions, the course was sensitively developed on former sugarcane fields, now replanted with native grasses to create rich, rolling grasslands that encourage ecological diversity. Every step of the process has been carefully monitored with a view to achieving GEO Certified Development status, the global standard for sustainable course design and construction. Already a destination of international standing, La Réserve Golf Links hosted the DP World Tour 2023 Mauritius Open, cementing its place among the most exciting new courses in the world. An extraordinary setting, a championship pedigree, and an unwavering commitment to nature — your invitation to play awaits.
EastIslandIle aux Cerfs Golf Club
Nestled in one of the most picturesque and tranquil settings in the world, Ile Aux Cerfs Golf Club is a haven for golfers of all levels. Designed by the famous golf champion, Bernhard Langer, Ile Aux Cerfs Golf Club is a 18 hole golf course which lies on the east coast of Mauritius. The island golf course is reachable only by a ‘special golf’ boat shuttle from its private jetty or by a scenic helicopter flip. This spectacular golf course in Mauritius covers 38 hectares of the iconic Ile aux Cerfs Island with the holes snaking along the preserved tropical flora and fauna of the island, boasting naturally in the undulating topography with volcanic rock outcrops, lakes and gullies. All 18 holes of this island golf have views of the ocean – some with glimpses across clearings through the trees; others by coming close to the shore. The unique island golf course of Ile aux Cerfs is definitely one of the most stupendous golf courses in the world, a “must play” as Colin Montgomerie puts it. It has been recognised to be the no. 1 of the Top-20 Golf Courses to play, once in your lifetime, by Golf World magazine.
