The new golf course is co-designed by former Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen, alongside course architect Peter Matkovic.

The excitement lies in the fact that it will be the first and only contemporary links course in the region; featuring panoramic ocean views from all angles while enjoying a game of golf.

Oosthuizen said: “We’ve worked with the land to create a strategic, undulating course that plays in the traditional links style, with running fairways, pot bunkers and long grasses.

“The location is breathtakingly beautiful with incredible views of the Indian Ocean.”

Jonathan Menteath, General Manager of Heritage Golf Club added: “La Réserve Golf Links is a game-changing course for Mauritius and Heritage Golf Club as a select global golf destination.

“This piece of land, with panoramic views over the Indian Ocean, is extraordinary and fulfils our vision to create a world class course for global golfers seeking the purest golf experience in one of the most naturally beautiful places on earth.”
