Mauritius is one of the world’s ultimate island paradise destinations. This beautiful island has spectacular volcanic formations, covered with tropical rainforests, and this picturesque landscape is framed by white sandy beaches of unfathomable beauty whose shores are caressed by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Like many other paradise islands, Mauritius offers a range of top-class hotels set on gorgeous tropical beaches.

What some people may be surprised to learn is that it is also the perfect place to combine golf with tropical island luxury. Yes, this paradise island is pretty well off when it comes to golf courses, the catalyst having been the creation in 1994 of Belle Mare Plage in the East of the island.

The Legend (Belle Mare Plage Hotel)

'The Legend', the first of its kind in Mauritius, designed by South African champion, Hugh Baiocchi, is the crowning achievement of Constance Belle Mare Plage The Resort, located along one of the most superb beaches on the island.

Each of the 18 holes has distinctive characteristics. Superb fairways are laid in the heart of an indigenous forest, culminating in brand new greens, built to USPGA specifications. In our constant effort to provide the perfect golfing location, all 18 greens have been rebuilt using Tif Dwarf grasses to ensure a perfect surface. Time has also been taken to enhance the natural beauty of a site originally used to breed deer. Teeing off from the 17th hole (par 3) is a feast for the eyes and a test for the nerves.

The Links Golf (Belle Mare Plage Hotel)

The second Belle Mare Plage The Resort Championship Golf Course, designed by Rodney Wright and Peter Allis opened in November 2002. This 18-hole Links course was conceived as a result of the success and demands encountered by Hotels Constance's first course, 'The Legend'. Nestled beneath the clubhouse, which faces the setting sun, this lovely course measures 5,942 m and has a par of 71.

Equipped with a practice fairway, this 18-hole course is set in a location which seems to have been naturally created for the purpose.

Bernhard Langer designed the 18 hole, par 72 championship course to challenge advanced players, while remaining exciting and playable for recreational golfers.

This is achieved with four sets of tee decks for each hole, so the angles of attack and approach vary. There is a generous provision of fairway where appropriate. The greens are mainly small and undulating, requiring precise approach shots.

The course has receptive greens and wide undulating fairways, which cut through the sugar cane fields, against a backdrop of volcanic mountains and breathtaking views of the ocean.

Technically challenging features include strategically placed bunkers, tricky elevations, water hazards and blind greens. Two rivers, Citronniers and St Martin, cross the fairways at unexpected places!

While the course has been designed to challenge advanced players, it will also be enjoyed by recreational golfers. Five sets of tees are provided for each hole, with generous fairway provision, where necessary. Golfers can enjoy a casual lunch or more formal dinner at the estate’s original homestead, the Château de Bel Ombre, which has been integrated into the course. The Clubhouse itself also serves light lunches and drinks.

A concept unique to Le Golf du Château is its 9-hole par 3 course which offers beginner golfers a chance to try out golf or those more experienced, a chance to practice their “short” game. For golfers who need some fine tuning, there is a PGA run state-of-the-art golf academy and driving range, with top- rate instruction available. Those needing new clubs will find them at the Pro Shop.

Whether your goal is to improve you swing, lower your handicap or win a championship, make sure you visit the Paradis Golf Academy. Golf Pros are at hand and sophisticated computer software helps you to pinpoint your weaknesses and iron them out. Collective lessons are provided free of charge, twice a week and two full-time Pros are also available for private lessons.
