How Many Golf Courses Are in Mauritius?
A complete rundown of every course on the island
Ask Paul About MauritiusMauritius has approximately 14 golf courses, including around 10 full 18-hole championship layouts. For an island smaller than greater Sydney, that is an exceptional concentration of high-quality golf.
Designers including Ernie Els, Bernhard Langer, Peter Matkovich, Rodney Wright, and Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen have all built courses here. Several have hosted the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open on the DP World Tour.
Below is a full rundown of the named courses, their locations, and what makes each one worth knowing about. For courses featured in Golf Corner's tour packages, see our Mauritius golf courses guide.
The Named Courses in Mauritius
Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club
Reached by a short boat transfer from the mainland, this is widely considered the most spectacular course in the Indian Ocean. Volcanic outcrops, crystal-clear lakes, and ocean views on almost every hole. Accessible to all levels but genuinely memorable for serious golfers.
Anahita Golf Club
An 18-hole par 72 built to USGA standards within a former sugar plantation. Six holes run along the lagoon. The closing hole is consistently cited as one of the most spectacular finishes in world golf.
Heritage Le Chateau
An 18-hole par 72 championship layout and the most demanding course on the island. Host of the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open on the DP World Tour. Routed through rolling terrain with mountain and lagoon views.
Heritage La Reserve Golf Links
The Indian Ocean's first true links course, co-designed by Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen. An 18-hole par 72 on elevated Bel Ombre terrain with panoramic ocean views. One of the newest and most talked-about layouts in the region.
Mont Choisy Le Golf
An 18-hole par 72 set within a historic sugar cane plantation in the north of the island. Matkovich built the routing around existing mature trees, making accuracy off the tee essential. Has hosted national and international tournaments since opening.
Belle Mare Plage — The Legend
One of two 18-hole courses at the Belle Mare Plage resort. A classic parkland layout with well-established tree lines and water features. Popular with golfers staying at the resort due to its consistent conditioning and walkability.
Belle Mare Plage — The Links
The second course at Belle Mare Plage, designed to complement The Legend with a different character and challenge. Winding through sugar cane plantations along the east coast. Golfers staying at the resort can play both courses in the same trip.
Tamarina Golf Club
An 18-hole par 72 set against the backdrop of Rempart Mountain, with Tamarin Bay visible through the tree lines. A tree-lined layout that rewards accuracy off the tee. One of the few courses on the island not built within a five-star resort.
Paradis Golf Club
Routed across the Le Morne Peninsula with lagoon views on multiple holes. A shorter layout that suits golfers of all abilities. The setting — with Le Morne mountain in the background — is among the most scenic on the island.
Avalon Golf Estate
Set at altitude in the south-central mountains, Avalon offers a different experience from the coastal resort courses. Panoramic views across tea plantations and down toward the Indian Ocean. A long drive from the main resort areas but notable for its distinctive setting.
Constance Belle Mare Plage — The Links (Constance)
Runs along the pristine east coast, blending coastal scenery with a challenging championship layout. Guests of Constance Belle Mare Plage have access to both this course and Ile aux Cerfs.
Gymkhana Golf Club
One of the oldest golf clubs in the southern hemisphere, founded in 1844. A historic 18-hole course used primarily by locals. Open to visiting golfers on weekdays. Worth a visit for those interested in the heritage side of Mauritius golf.
Which Courses Does Golf Corner Feature?
Paul Deans has personally played every course in the Golf Corner Mauritius program. Nothing gets listed that has not been walked and assessed firsthand.
The core courses in our packages are Ile aux Cerfs, Heritage Le Chateau, Heritage La Reserve, The Legend and The Links at Belle Mare Plage, and Tamarina. These were selected for a combination of course quality, resort standard, and the overall experience they deliver for Australian golfers.
Depending on your travel dates and group preferences, Paul can put together an itinerary that includes two or three of these courses across a week. Contact Paul to discuss which combination suits your group best.
Public Access vs Resort Guests
Most of the top courses in Mauritius are resort-integrated and can be accessed by non-staying guests, though resort guests typically receive preferential tee times and rates. Booking independently as a non-guest is possible but can be more complicated during peak periods.
Ile aux Cerfs is the most logistically involved, requiring a boat transfer and advance booking. It is significantly easier to access as part of an organised tour package than independently.
Golf Corner handles all tee time bookings, transfers, and logistics as part of every Mauritius package. You confirm your travel dates and Paul takes care of everything from there.
Most of our clients want to play two or three courses across a week in Mauritius rather than cramming in as many rounds as possible. That is the right approach — each course here deserves a full day, not a rushed tick-off.
I will tell you honestly which courses to prioritise based on your handicap range and what you are looking for from the trip. Get in touch and we can start mapping out an itinerary.
