Like most other paradise islands, Mauritius is sheltered from mass tourism and offers a range of top-class hotels set on gorgeous tropical beaches. What some people may be surprised to learn is that it is also the perfect place to combine golf with tropical island luxury. Indeed, this paradise island is pretty well off when it comes to golf courses. Golfing in Mauritius is a very popular activity and some of the finest golf courses in the world can be found on the island. Most of the golf courses of Mauritius are situated inside hotels and resorts. There are three 18 Hole courses and five 9 Hole courses in the hotels of Mauritius.
The best and most popular golf course of Mauritius is Le Touessrok Golf Course. The course is on located at its own isle and offers a unique style of playing.
The Mauritius Golf Open is held every year at the Belle Mare Plage hotel Golf Course known as the Legends. This hotel features another golf course known as the Links. Great golfing can be experienced at Bel Ombre in the South at the Golf Du Chateau and at Tamarina in the west.

Golf Ile aux Cerfs
Ile aux Cerfs Golf Course is across a coral lagoon and is reached by a 'golfing special' water taxi.
It is destined to become one of the wonders of the game. All 18 holes have views of the ocean - some with glimpses across clearings through the trees; others by coming close to the shore.
There are nine lakes in all, with a number of holes requiring tee shots across sea inlets to the fairways. The water and the expansive bunkers of indigenous white sand set off the natural backdrop of trees and vegetation.
Playing at over 7000 yards/6476m, this is the longest course in Mauritius. |

Belle Mare Plage – The Links
Open since November 2002, it completes the Belle Mare Plage Resort, with a second 18-hole championship golf course which differs greatly from the first one as it is inspired by the Links course with rolling fairways.
Par 71 with 5927m, the 18th hole is the signature hole along turquoise waters. Like its twin the Legend, the Links offers a Golf Academy by professional and qualified instructors. Use of Club cars is obligatory.
These courses were conceived to annually host a number of international competitions including the Mauritius Open. |

Belle Mare Plage – The Legend
The Legend golf course is the crowning achievement of the Belle Mare Plage Resort, making Mauritius a golfing destination since its opening in January 1994. Each of the 18 holes has distinctive characteristics. Superb fairways are laid in the heart of an indigenous forest, culminating on velvet greens, made to US PGA regulations. This course is exclusive to hotel clients, and its sister hotel Le Prince Maurice, who can play without green fees.
In our constant effort to provide the perfect golfing location, all 18 greens have been rebuilt using Tif Dwarf grasses to ensure a perfect surface. Time has also been taken to enhance the natural beauty of a site originally used to breeding deer. Teeing off from the 17th hole (par 3) is a feast for the eyes and a test for the nerves. |
