La Réserve Golf Links named number one in Mauritius by Top 100 Golf Courses
Global independent ranking authority places Heritage Resorts contemporary links at the top as Mauritius strengthens its position as a world-class golf destination.
Top 100 Golf Courses, the global independent authority on golf course rankings, has named La Réserve Golf Links at Heritage Resorts & Golf the Number One golf course in Mauritius in its newly expanded Top 10 Ranking.
Top 100 Golf Courses has built its reputation over nearly two decades through transparent, independent assessments and a global network of experienced reviewers, making its rankings among the most informed evaluations of golf courses worldwide.
Global recognition
La Réserve Golf Links rise to the top spot in its first year of eligibility marks another milestone in a landmark season for Heritage, following its success at the 2025 World Golf Awards, where it was named the Indian Ocean’s Best Golf Course.
Jasper Miners, the Top 100 Golf Courses reviewer who conducted the latest Mauritius assessment, said “The expansion of the Mauritius rankings from a Top 5 to a Top 10 reflects the island’s growing depth and maturity as a golf destination. La Réserve Golf Links’ rise to number one on debut is exceptional. It's not just a new course performing well; it shows Mauritius is now competing with the world’s best on architectural merit. This is a contemporary links-inspired design of real strategic character, shaped through volcanic terrain and protected landscapes. It changes the conversation about golf in the Indian Ocean.”
A complete golf offering
The new rankings also underline the strength of Heritage Resorts dual-course offering, with Le Château Golf Course. The original Peter Matkovich design remains one of the island’s most recognisable and loved championship courses, offering a complementary experience to the contemporary strategy of La Réserve Golf Links. Together, they form the most complete 45-hole golf destination in the region.
The combination of award-winning golf, sustainable design and luxury hospitality continues to elevate Heritage Resorts as a flagship for golf in Mauritius. The recognition of Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort as the World’s Best Golf Hotel 2025 reinforces its standing as the premier place to stay for international golfers seeking championship-level play, natural beauty and authentic Mauritian hospitality.
Set between volcanic mountains and the Indian Ocean lagoon, and framed by the protected landscapes of Bel Ombre, Heritage is helping position Mauritius among the most desirable golf destinations worldwide and a must-visit location for discerning global golf travellers.
The publication of the new rankings marks a pivotal moment for golf in Mauritius, reflecting the island’s growing depth, quality and international appeal.
Shaped by nature, perfected by champions
La Réserve Golf Links at Heritage Golf Club, Mauritius, is the first and only contemporary links course in the region, offering an unparalleled experience of pure golfing drama. With panoramic ocean views from every hole, this exhilarating new course plays hand in hand with nature, alongside a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Inspired by the wild open spaces of the great seaside links, former sugar cane fields have been sensitively planted with native grasses to create rich, rolling grasslands that encourage ecological diversity. Every step has been carefully monitored, contributing to its GEO Certified® Development status—the global standard for sustainable golf course design and construction.
Co-designed by Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen, La Réserve Golf Links made its international debut by hosting the DP World Tour’s 2023 Mauritius Open just days after its official opening. In December 2025, La Réserve Golf Links will proudly host the tournament again, marking the second time in its history.
