The Best Golf Courses in Mauritius
Mauritius has quietly become the Indian Ocean's finest golf island, with championship courses by Ernie Els, Bernhard Langer and Peter Matkovich set between sugar fields, lagoons and volcanic peaks. Our ranked seven, with verdicts and how to play them.
How we ranked them
Mauritius packs a remarkable amount of high end golf into one small island. The best of it clusters on the cooler, greener east coast around Belle Mare and Anahita, with the flagship Heritage estate anchoring the wilder south and a handful of standouts in the west and north. We weighed the quality and conditioning of the golf, the strength of the setting and its lodging, how readily a visiting group can secure a tee time, and the pedigree of the design. Almost every leading course sits inside a five star resort, which makes Mauritius unusually easy to build a week around.
Every fact here, the designers, the opening years and the indicative green fees, was checked at the time of writing in June 2026 by the GolfForKings editorial desk. Fees move with the season and the year, so treat the numbers as a guide and always confirm directly before booking. The verdicts are ours. If your group wants any of these built into a costed itinerary, with the flights, the transfers and the right resort secured, that is exactly what our concierge does.
The 7 best golf courses in Mauritius
Heritage Golf Club, Le Chateau
The island's championship benchmark, a Peter Matkovich design that rolls across the Bel Ombre estate from the slopes of the south to the lagoon, framed by the forested peaks of the interior. Long the host of the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, a tri sanctioned tournament shared by the European, Sunshine and Asian tours, it pairs genuine tournament pedigree with one of the most complete resort settings in the Indian Ocean. The natural first pick for a Mauritius trip.
Anahita Golf Club
Ernie Els routed this one along the wild eastern shoreline, with several holes pressed hard against the lagoon and the island of Ile aux Cerfs shimmering offshore. Bold, modern and beautifully conditioned, it has also hosted the Mauritius Open and serves the Four Seasons and Anahita resorts. The most dramatic seaside golf on the island and a worthy co headliner with Heritage.
Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club
A Bernhard Langer design laid out across its own small island in the turquoise eastern lagoon, reached only by the club's launch. The boat ride, the dense tropical vegetation and the sea views from almost every hole make this the most memorable round in Mauritius for sheer theatre. A bucket list experience as much as a golf course, and a fine test in its own right.
Constance Belle Mare Plage, The Legend
The senior of the two Constance courses, a mature Hugh Baiocchi parkland threaded through indigenous forest where deer still roam the fairways. It has staged European Senior Tour golf and remains a strong, strategic test alongside one of the island's most established golf resorts. A reliable, characterful round that anchors a Belle Mare stay.
Constance Belle Mare Plage, The Links
The companion course at Constance Belle Mare Plage, more open and breeze exposed than the Legend, with the feel of a seaside links transplanted to the tropics. Designed with input from Rodney Wright and Peter Alliss, it gives resort guests genuine variety across two contrasting eighteens on one estate, a rarity in the Indian Ocean.
Tamarina Golf Club
The standout on the drier, sunnier west coast, a Rodney Wright layout set in the Tamarin valley beneath the Black River Gorges with the bay and the mountains as a backdrop. Wilder and more rugged than the manicured eastern resorts, with real elevation change, it is the best reason to base a trip around the west of the island.
Mont Choisy Le Golf
The pick of the north, a more recent Peter Matkovich design in the sugar country behind the resort strip at Grand Baie and Trou aux Biches. Generous and walkable with mountain views, it gives golfers staying in the busy, beachy north their own quality eighteen without the long transfer to the east or south coasts.
Designers and opening years verified June 2026 by the GolfForKings editorial desk. Mauritian golf is concentrated inside the island's five star resorts, so most rounds are easiest to arrange as a resort guest. Always confirm visitor access and fees directly before booking.
Where they are, and indicative costs
Mauritius is small, but the golf and the transfers still shape a trip. The strongest cluster sits on the east coast around Belle Mare and Beau Champ, home to Anahita, the two Constance courses and the boat ride to Ile aux Cerfs. Heritage anchors the quieter south at Bel Ombre, while Tamarina holds the sunnier west and Mont Choisy serves the lively north around Grand Baie. The airport is in the southeast, so an east or south base keeps transfers short. Most groups pick one coast, play three or four courses, and add the Ile aux Cerfs round as the set piece.
