Renowned golf course photographer Jacob Sjöman showcases the contrasting character of the courses at the Mauritian Top 25 World Golf Resort, as La Réserve Golf Links earns its place among the Top 30 international courses outside the US.
Mauritius – April 2026 – Spectacular new images from world-renowned golf course photographer Jacob Sjöman have been released by Heritage Resorts & Golf, Mauritius, capturing the striking landscapes and contrasting character of its two championship courses, La Réserve Golf Links and Le Château Golf Course.
The curated selection features images showcasing the dramatic coastal setting of La Réserve Golf Links, recently ranked 28th in Golfweek’s Best Top 100 International Courses (outside the United States) for 2026, and the lush parkland beauty of the critically-acclaimed Le Château Golf Course. This latest accolade places La Réserve firmly among the world’s elite and reinforces its position as Africa and the Indian Ocean’s most exceptional golf experience.
Perched above the unspoiled south coast of Mauritius, alongside a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, La Réserve Golf Links is the first and only contemporary links course in the Indian Ocean. Co-designed by Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen and acclaimed architect Peter Matkovich, the layout is shaped on former sugar cane fields that have been sensitively planted with native grasses to create rich rolling grasslands.
Sjöman’s images capture the sweeping fairways, elevated tees, infinity greens and panoramic ocean views that define Mauritius’ No.1 course and one of the most distinctive golf landscapes in the region. Designed to deliver both pure golfing drama and strategic depth, La Réserve offers a world-class playing experience in one of the most spectacular natural settings in the Indian Ocean.
In contrast, his images of Le Château Golf Course reveal the timeless elegance of Heritage Golf Club’s original championship layout. Set within the historic Bel Ombre estate, the course winds through mature trees and immaculate fairways beneath the island’s dramatic mountain backdrop, offering a refined and memorable playing experience.
Together, the two courses form the heart of one of the most compelling golf destinations in the Indian Ocean. Heritage Golf Club’s 45-hole offering, set within the 2,500-hectare Bel Ombre estate between volcanic mountains and a pristine lagoon, provides golfers with the opportunity to experience two distinctly different championship courses in one destination.
Complemented by the five-star Heritage Le Telfair Golf and Wellness Resort and Heritage Awali Golf and Spa Resort, as well as its collection of luxury villa accommodation, Heritage Resorts & Golf has earned global recognition as a Top 25 World Golf Resort (Golf World), combining championship golf, luxury hospitality and one of the most spectacular natural settings in the Indian Ocean.
