La Réserve Golf Links, Heritage Resorts & Golf’s flagship course in Mauritius, has secured the 28th position in Golfweek’s Best Top 100 International Courses (Outside the United States) for 2026.
This prestigious ranking recognizes the best golf courses outside the United States and places the Mauritian course above renowned locations in traditional golf hubs, firmly cementing its status as the premier golf destination in Africa and the Indian Ocean, and a true must-play for discerning golfers around the world.
As the first and only modern links course in the Indian Ocean, located in the pristine south-west of Mauritius in Bel Ombre, La Réserve Golf Links has redefined the region’s golf landscape. Co-designed by acclaimed architect Peter Matkovich and Open Champion Louis Oousthuizen, the course features panoramic ocean views from every hole, elevated infinity greens and rolling fairways, delivering a playing experience of exceptional beauty and strategic depth.
“To break into the top 30 international golf courses outside the United States is a tremendous achievement and a defining moment for Mauritius in the global golf landscape,” said Thierry Montocchio, Chief Executive Officer of ER Hospitality, parent company of Heritage Resorts & Golf.
“With La Reserve Golf Links, we have dared to bring an ambitious vision to life in Mauritius. This recognition reflects the passion, expertise and dedication of our entire team in creating a course that is not only outstanding, but also represents the pinnacle of golf excellence on the island, in Africa and across the Indian Ocean.
From the challenging link design and spectacular coastal panoramas to the unwavering commitment to sustainability, this award confirms our place on the world golf stage, an achievement we are immensely proud of.”
La Réserve Golf Links is also the first golf course in Africa to achieve GEO Certified® Development Status, reflecting its commitment to environmentally responsible and sustainable golf development.
Together with Le Château Golf Course, it is part of a 45-hole championship offering on the 2,500-hectare Bel Ombre estate at Heritage Golf Club, where volcanic mountains meet a pristine lagoon in one of Mauritius’ best-preserved natural environments.
This world-class golf experience is complemented by accommodation options at the adjacent five-star hotels – the sophisticated and elegant Heritage Le Telfair, the vibrant Heritage Awali, and in private villas at Heritage The Villas.
Together, they position Heritage Resorts & Golf as a premier destination for luxury golf tourism, where championship courses, genuine hospitality and immersive experiences come together in perfect harmony.
