Heritage Golf Club at Heritage Resorts & Golf is home to two of the best courses in Mauritius: La Réserve Golf Links and Le Château Golf Course. Here, we explore our two critically-acclaimed layouts at our exceptional golfing estate, ranked among the world’s top 25 golf resorts – the perfect choice for your next golfing getaway.
La Réserve Golf Links: Pure Golfing Drama
Located at Heritage Golf Club in the Bel Ombre territory of Mauritius is one of the world’s most exciting new courses: La Réserve Golf Links. As well as being the Indian Ocean’s first and only contemporary links, it also ranks among the top 30 international courses outside the US.
Since its official opening in December 2023, La Réserve Golf Links has already solidified its position as the best golf course in Mauritius and the region, currently holding the #28 spot globally in the Golfweek international courses rankings (outside the US) and awarded the #1 in the Indian Ocean at the 2025 World Golf Awards.
The award-winning layout, co-designed by former Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen and respected golf architect Peter Matkovich, has become the must-visit destination for golf in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean.
Inspired by the wild open spaces of the great seaside links, the No.1 course in Mauritius, according to Top100GolfCourses.com, presents a unique challenge for golfers of all levels.
From dramatic elevations to signature infinity greens, La Réserve Golf Links delivers one of the most extraordinary golf experiences in the Indian Ocean. As a two-time host of the DP World Tour’s AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, the course combines sweeping panoramic ocean views with dramatic 200-meter elevation changes, creating a sense of adventure as soon as you step onto the first tee.
La Réserve Golf Links Signature Holes
- Hole 2: This narrow, links-style par-4 – the most challenging hole on the course, plays between two natural dune ridges, really embodying true links golf.
- Hole 3: A striking par-4 dogleg right, featuring an elevated infinity green that offers a breathtaking, panoramic ocean vista.
- Hole 4: A short par-3, meticulously protected by a series of deep green side bunkers offers up a lovely test of skill.
- Hole 10: A memorable par-4 with a hollow landing area for the tee shot, leading up to an infinity green that provides an aerial view of the back-nine.
- Hole 16: A lengthy par-4 that culminates in an infinity green, boasting a beautiful view of the clubhouse.
- Hole 17: A short, links-style par-3, drawing inspiration from the iconic 12th ‘Mass Hole’ par-3 at Waterville in Ireland.
Le Château Golf Course: Golf’s Tropical Garden
Carefully curated in the lush, landscaped grounds of an elegant 19th century château and punctuated with lakes, streams and grand centenary trees, teeing off at Le Château Golf Course evokes the surreal feeling of playing golf in a tropical garden.
Settled on gentle foothills of the Savanne mountain range which forms its backdrop, the pristine preserve of Le Château Golf Course features generous fairways with sweeping views down to the tropical, blue hues of the Indian Ocean.
Its exquisite year-round conditioning underpins its consistent recognition as one of the best golf courses in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean.
As host to multiple editions of the DP World Tour’s AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, you can follow in the footsteps of champions and experience a tournament quality, championship golf course in Mauritius.
Complementing the outstanding facilities at Le Château Golf Course is the on-site 9-hole Par 3 which offers the perfect setting for both newcomers to the game and experienced players looking to sharpen their skills. Featuring a variety of hole lengths and styles, from inviting short approaches to more demanding longer carries, the course delivers a fun yet rewarding challenge for golfers of all abilities.
Standout holes on Le Château Golf Course
- Hole 5: A short, challenging, short-range hole requiring precision over power.
- Hole 8: Described as the best par-3 on the course, requiring a long, accurate downhill shot toward the clubhouse.
- Hole 9: Featuring a challenging, short layout, it earned fame during the 2015 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open when Javier Colomo recorded the first-ever hole-in-one on a par-4 in the combined history of the Sunshine, European, and Asian Tours.
- Hole 15: A well-bunkered, visually striking par-3 set among mature, scenic trees.
- Hole 14: Features a multi-tiered green and presents a significant test for long-game and approach play.
- Hole 18: A left-doglegged finishing hole with an elevated tee shot. It requires strategic placement to avoid the water hazard protecting the green, creating dramatic finishes.
