The 4 Best Golf Courses in Mauritius

Want to keep your golf game up to scratch on your Mauritius holidays? Here are four of the courses you simply must play.

Mauritius is one of the premier luxury holiday destinations, and it is now also making a name for itself as an unforgettable place to go on a golf holiday. The first course on the island opened in 1994, so the golfing scene here is still young, but plenty of other top quality courses have sprung up over the past decade, giving avid golfers on Mauritius holidays numerous options when it comes to picking a course. Many of the courses are attached to five star hotels that offer free and discounted green fees to their residents, so bear that in mind when choosing your accommodation on the island.

If you are keen to play a few rounds of golf during your visit to Mauritius, here are four courses that you shouldn't miss out on...

One & Only Le Touessrok Golf Club

This is a tough course that is recommended for more experienced players, but if you've got a low enough handicap to take it on, you'll be well rewarded. Designed by Bernard Langer around nine lakes, to stay out of the water you'll have to play the game of your life, or just bring plenty of spare balls! But golfers looking for a challenge on their Mauritius holidays should accept no substitute - One & Only Le Touessrok is a must play.

Anahita Golf Course

For sheer beauty, there are few courses in the world that can match the Anahita. Designed by Ernie Els, this course only opened in the last few years but has already established itself as one of the best on the island. The scenery as you follow the coast is breathtaking, and the finish at the last hole is simply "to die for".

Heritage Golf & Spa Resort

Attached to this excellent five star hotel is a delightful championship quality golf course that is one of the best on the island. With a combined backdrop of mountain and sea, you'll have a hard time concentrating on the game at hand, but this expansive course deserves your attention and is a joy to play.

Belle Mare Plage Golf Club - The Legend

The very first (and, some would say, the very best) of the golf courses in Mauritius, The Legend more than lives up to its name. Host to the prestigious Mauritius Open, this superbly designed course includes forests, lakes and volanic rock in the landscape, and it is a treat for both top class golfers and keen amateurs on their Mauritius holidays. Belle Plage is also home to two more courses, The Links and Lemuria - both well worth playing.
