Mauritius Golf: Green Fee Trends for 2026
Mauritius rarely makes the world golf headlines, but in 2026 it has: La Reserve Golf Links at Heritage Resorts climbed to 28th in Golfweek's Best Top 100 International Courses. We tracked what an island round costs in 2026 and where the value still sits.

The year a links course put the island on the map
The Mauritius golf story in 2026 is a ranking, not a price. La Reserve Golf Links, the flagship at Heritage Resorts in the unspoilt south west corner of Bel Ombre, broke into 28th place in Golfweek's Best Top 100 International Courses for 2026. Billed as the first contemporary links of the Indian Ocean and designed jointly by South African architect Peter Matkovich and Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, it opened in December 2023 and has climbed fast. That recognition matters for the island, because it gives golfers a genuine bucket list reason to fly here rather than treating golf as a beach holiday extra.
The wider market keeps the shape it has always had. Almost every Mauritian course is attached to a resort, so the headline green fee is only half the story: rounds are frequently bundled into the room rate or sold at a sharp resident or guest discount. Anahita, the Bernhard Langer layout on the east coast, sits at the top of the published range, with Ile aux Cerfs, reached by boat, the most theatrical and the priciest day out. Heritage Le Chateau anchors the south. The 2026 trend is firming rates at the newly garlanded La Reserve and steady, package driven pricing everywhere else.
What Mauritius golf charges in 2026
Indicative 2026 visitor green fees and access notes for the headline Mauritius courses. Almost all are resort courses, so guests usually pay far less than the rack rate or play as part of a stay.
| Course | 2026 indicative position | Access note |
|---|---|---|
| La Reserve Golf Links, Bel Ombre | Premium resort fee; ranked 28th in the world outside the United States for 2026 | Resort course at Heritage; guest and stay and play rates available |
| Anahita Golf Club, east coast | Around EUR125 to EUR175 by season | Resort course, Bernhard Langer design; guest discounts apply |
| Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club | Around EUR150 to EUR200, plus a small compulsory sustainability fee | Reached by boat; the island's signature day out, book ahead |
| Heritage Le Chateau, Bel Ombre | Around EUR110 to EUR150 by season | Resort course; bundled with La Reserve on twin course packages |
Green fees verified June 2026 from Mauritius golf and resort sources, and the La Reserve Golf Links 2026 Golfweek ranking is confirmed. Resort guest, resident and package rates run well below these rack figures, and a sustainability fee applies at Ile aux Cerfs. Season and currency move the number you pay. Always confirm current rates and availability directly before booking.
Our take
For the travelling golfer, 2026 is the year La Reserve becomes the anchor of a Mauritius trip rather than an afterthought. A world top 30 ranking is rare for the Indian Ocean, and the smart play is to build a few days at Heritage in Bel Ombre around it, pairing the links with the parkland Le Chateau next door on a twin course rate. Because these are resort courses, the green fee is rarely the real cost: the stay and play package is almost always better value than walking up and paying rack.
Beyond Bel Ombre, the island rewards golfers who travel for the whole experience and not just the scorecard. Anahita and Ile aux Cerfs give the east coast its drama, the latter worth the boat ride at least once, while the resort model means a family can be kept happy on the beach while you play. Treat Mauritius as a warm winter escape with one genuinely world class course attached, book through the resort to unlock the discounts, and the maths works far better than the headline fees suggest.
For the wider picture, our companion studies track green fee inflation across the great courses and rank the best value golf destinations for 2026.

Common questions
Is La Reserve Golf Links really one of the best courses in the world?
Yes. La Reserve Golf Links at Heritage Resorts in Bel Ombre was ranked 28th in Golfweek's Best Top 100 International Courses, meaning the best courses outside the United States, for 2026. It opened in December 2023, was designed jointly by Peter Matkovich and Louis Oosthuizen, and is described as the first contemporary links course in the Indian Ocean.
How much does it cost to play golf in Mauritius in 2026?
Published visitor green fees broadly run from about EUR110 to EUR200 by course and season, with Anahita around EUR125 to EUR175 and Ile aux Cerfs the priciest. Almost all courses are resort courses, so guests and residents pay considerably less and golf is often bundled into a stay. These are indicative figures; always confirm directly before booking.
Do you have to stay at the resort to play in Mauritius?
No, the leading courses accept visitor green fees, but because nearly every Mauritius course belongs to a resort, staying on site usually unlocks much cheaper golf, reserved tee times and stay and play packages. For value, build the trip around a resort base in Bel Ombre or on the east coast rather than paying walk up rates.
