La Réserve Golf Links at Heritage Resorts & Golf in Mauritius Surges into Top 30 Intl Courses

​

La Réserve Golf Links, the flagship course of Heritage Resorts & Golf in Mauritius, has secured the 28th position in Golfweek’s Best Top 100 International Courses (outside the United States) for 2026.

Recognising the finest golf courses beyond the United States, these prestigious rankings place the Mauritian course ahead of renowned venues in traditional golfing heartlands, firmly cementing its status as the premier golf destination across Africa as well as the Indian Ocean, and a true must-play for discerning golfers worldwide.

As the first and only contemporary links course in the Indian Ocean, set in the unspoilt south-west of Mauritius within Bel Ombre, La Réserve Golf Links has redefined the region’s golfing landscape. Co-designed by acclaimed architect Peter Matkovich and Open Champion Louis Oousthuizen, the course offers 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 courses outside the United States is a tremendous achievement and a defining moment for Mauritius in the global golfing landscape,” said Thierry Montocchio, Chief Executive Officer of ER Hospitality, the parent company of Heritage Resorts & Golf.

“With La Reserve Golf Links, we 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 which represents the pinnacle of golfing excellence on the island, in Africa and across the Indian Ocean.

From its challenging links design and spectacular coastal panoramas to its unwavering commitment to sustainability, this distinction affirms our place on the world golfing stage, an achievement of which we are immensely proud.”

La Réserve Golf Links is also the first golf course in Africa to achieve the GEO Certified® Development Status, reflecting its commitment to environmentally responsible and sustainable golf development.

Together with Le Château Golf Course, it forms part of a 45-hole championship offering within the 2,500-hectare Bel Ombre estate at Heritage Golf Club, where volcanic mountains meet a pristine lagoon in one of Mauritius’ most preserved natural settings.

This world-class golf experience is complemented by stay options at the adjacent five-star hotels -the refined 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, heartfelt hospitality, and immersive experiences come together in perfect harmony.
