We all love the challenge of links golf – the purest form of the game. But what if you could play links golf in a sub-tropical climate with constant sunshine, surrounded by crystal clear waters? Heritage Resorts & Golf in Mauritius offers exactly that.
Links Golf in the Indian Ocean
The newly opened La Réserve Golf Links in Mauritius is the only contemporary links course in the Indian Ocean. Co-designed by 2010 Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and acclaimed architect Peter Matkovich, it spans 6,570 metres and caters to golfers of all skill levels.
While the fairways are wide, strategically placed bunkers and undulating greens demand precise shot-making and strategic thinking. Traditional links elements like tightly mown, firm fairways, long links-style grasses, pot bunkers, and natural hazards require ‘along the ground’ play typical of the world’s great links, giving it a distinctive character that sets it apart from other golf courses on the island.

Panoramic Ocean Views
La Réserve Golf Links is breathtakingly beautiful, with the Indian Ocean as its backdrop. The elevated course offers sea views from every tee and green, with a 200-metre drop from the first tee to the clubhouse. Nestled beneath the Savanne mountain range and next to a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the course blends naturally into the landscape featuring “infinity greens” that appear to fall into the ocean.

Sustainable Roots
La Réserve Golf Links became the first course in Africa to be awarded GEO Certified® Development Status. Peter and Louis adhered to the principle: “Nature shapes our design.” The course follows the natural flow of the land, originally a sugarcane plantation, with wild, indigenous grasses that blend perfectly into the environment, maintaining a natural links landscape.
A Test for the World’s Best
La Réserve Golf Links opened in December 2023 and played host the DP World Tour’s AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open which saw course co-designer Louis Oosthuizen win with a score of 17 under par. For seasoned players looking to test their game, Louis’ back ‘57 tees’ offer up the challenge that faced the world’s best golfers during the Tour event.
“Links golf challenges your mind and your game. It requires precision, creativity, and patience. It’s the purest form of golf with nature shaping the course. That makes it very special to me.” –Louis Oosthuizen on La Réserve Golf Links
