Anahita Mauritius
Ernie Els laid Anahita along the east coast lagoon of Mauritius in 2008, a par 72 of 7,372 yards built to USGA standards with six holes playing right against the water. Home course of the Four Seasons resort, it is free and unlimited for resort guests and open to visitors for about EUR 120 a day.

The verdict
Anahita is Ernie Els in Indian Ocean mode: generous fairways, five sets of tees and a routing that saves its drama for the lagoon, where six oceanfront holes culminate in one of the most photogenic finishes in resort golf. Opened in 2008 at Beau Champ on the island's quieter east coast, it was built to USGA standards and is maintained to match.
It operates as the Four Seasons Golf Club Mauritius at Anahita, and the access model is the draw: guests of the Four Seasons and Anahita resorts play free and unlimited, while outside visitors pay a modest daily rate. Among the island's championship courses it is the one that best balances beauty, condition and value, and it anchors any Mauritius golf week.

The holes worth the trip
The opening run works through old estate land beneath the island's green volcanic peaks, wide enough off the tee to free the driver but defended by water and well set bunkering. Els built the course to handle resort play and a stiff sea breeze at the same time, and the five tee options keep it honest for every handicap.
The lagoon holes are why you fly eleven hours. Six of them play along or across the water, the turquoise flats of the east coast hard against the turf, and the finish brings the clubhouse and the lagoon together with a closing shot ranked among the most spectacular in the game by those who keep such lists.
Conditioning is the quiet star, the greens true and the fairways tight year round, and the pace of play stays civilized because most of the field is staying on the estate. Play early before the breeze builds, then spend the afternoon on the lagoon itself.
