Mauritius has some of the finest golf courses in the Indian Ocean. Turquoise lagoons on one side, black volcanic mountains on the other. And 12 months of sunshine to play in.
The newest course in Mauritius, and already the best. La Réserve is the Indian Ocean's first and only contemporary links course, co-designed by 2010 Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen, and in 2025 it was officially named Mauritius' number one golf course by Top 100 Golf Courses, the independent global authority on course rankings. It was also placed 28th in Golfweek's Best Top 100 International Courses outside the United States for 2026.
You reach this course by boat, and that is half the reason people fall in love with it. Bernhard Langer designed the course across 38 hectares of a private island off the east coast, and every single hole has a sea view. It is one of the most photographed courses in the world, and once you have played it, you will understand why.
The original course at Heritage Golf Club, and for two decades the benchmark for golf in the Indian Ocean. It has hosted the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour, more times than any other course on the island.
The only course on the island built to USGA standard, and it plays like it. Ernie Els gave it wide, generous fairways, but do not let that fool you. Six ocean front holes and a run home along the lagoon make the closing stretch one of the best finishes in golf.
The first true championship course built in Mauritius, and still one of the best. Hugh Baiocchi laid it out through what used to be a deer hunting forest, so do not be surprised if you spot Java deer between shots.
Constance Belle Mare Plage's second course, and the friendlier sibling of the two. Rodney Wright and Peter Allis gave it wider fairways and a more relaxed feel, without losing any of the coastal scenery.
The only championship course in the north of the island, built across a former sugar cane plantation near Grand Baie and Trou aux Biches. It has hosted the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open twice, in 2022 and 2024.
Set on the Le Morne Peninsula with the UNESCO listed Le Morne Brabant mountain on one side and the lagoon on the other. Five holes run right along the water, and the whole course has a real sense of theatre to it.
The longest course in Mauritius, set in the dry, breezy west near Tamarin Bay. Rodney Wright routed it through rugged savannah rather than tropical forest, giving it a wilder, more open character than most of the island's courses.
The only inland course in Mauritius, set up in the hills above Bois Chéri among tea plantations rather than the coast. The elevation gives it a noticeably cooler, breezier feel than the other nine courses, and the views stretch out to the south coast and the Indian Ocean in the distance.

Yes, though it is only reachable by boat from the mainland.
Paradis Golf Course on the Le Morne Peninsula and Avalon Golf Estate in Bois Chéri are the two most popular choices for casual golfers, thanks to their forgiving layouts and relaxed pace of play.
Golf is year-round in Mauritius, but May to October, the dry season, offers lower humidity, cooler temperatures and steady trade winds, making it the most comfortable time to play.
