Mauritius has earned its reputation as one of the Indian Ocean\u2019s premier golf destinations.<\/p>\n
Behind several of the island\u2019s most respected courses sits a management company deeply involved in how the game is delivered, experienced and evolved.<\/p>\n
The Golf Company Africa manages and operates some of Mauritius\u2019 most highly regarded golf facilities: Avalon Golf Estate, Le Ch\u00e2teau Golf Course, La R\u00e9serve Golf Links and Azuri The Nine. In the latest Top 100 courses rankings, Mauritian rankings serve as a strong validation of The Golf Company\u2019s management capability.<\/p>\n
La R\u00e9serve Golf Links and Avalon Golf Estate occupy rankings one and two, respectively, with Le Ch\u00e2teau sitting in fifth position. Azuri the Nine is a par 3 course, and while this does not fit into the Top100 ranking criteria, it has won the World\u2019s Best Par 3 course twice (2023 and 2025). Each is internationally recognised, each is distinct in character, and each benefits from a management model that extends well beyond day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n
A defining feature across the portfolio is championship pedigree. Both Le Ch\u00e2teau Golf Course and La R\u00e9serve Golf Links have hosted the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, a DP World Tour event, firmly establishing their credentials on the global stage.<\/p>\n
Set high in the south-central uplands of Mauritius\u2019 Bois Ch\u00e9ri area, Avalon is a modern \u201cmountain\/inland\u201d layout known for cooler air, big elevation swings, and wide open views that can stretch from the Grand Bassin region out toward the coast on clear days. It\u2019s an 18-hole championship course designed by Peter Matkovich, with a reputation for being scenic and playable while still asking for smart club selection because of wind and altitude.<\/p>\n
\u2022 18-hole championship golf course.
\n\u2022 Par 72.
\n\u2022 Designed by Peter Matkovich.
\n\u2022 Opened in 2015.
\n\u2022 Located in the Bois Ch\u00e9ri region of Mauritius.
\n\u2022 +- 500m above sea level (the highest place to play golf on the island).
\n\u2022 Surrounded by tea plantations\/tea-growing fields.
\n\u2022 Only golf course on the island with bent grass greens.
\n\u2022 Practice facilities include a driving range plus multiple short-game greens (putting\/chipping\/pitching) and a practice bunker.<\/p>\n
La R\u00e9serve Golf Links brings authentic links golf to the Indian Ocean. Exposed, dramatic and shaped naturally into the ground contours, it demands creativity and control. Hosting a DP World Tour event so soon after opening was a clear statement of its competitive credentials.<\/p>\n
La R\u00e9serve certainly delivers \u201cpure golfing drama\u201d. The 2025 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open saw a play-off between Ryan Gerard and Jayden Schaper, which not only delivered an exhilarating play-off, but also an incredible storyline. Gerard required a 4th-place finish or better to secure his spot in the 2026 U.S Masters. The 10,000-mile round trip proved to be well worth the jet lag as he stamped his ticket into the field.<\/p>\n
\u2022 18 holes.

In the lush Bel Ombre estate, Le Ch\u00e2teau is a classic, parkland-style championship test routed around a 19th-century ch\u00e2teau, with mature trees and plenty of water in play. It\u2019s widely positioned as a \u201cmust-play\u201d Mauritius course, pairing generous-looking corridors with hazards that punish the wrong angles, especially as the wind shifts off the nearby coast and valley lines.<\/p>\n
A past DP World Tour venue, the course is capable of hosting elite competition without sacrificing everyday enjoyment, which makes it a popular choice for the travelling golfer.<\/p>\n

In April, The Golf Company Africa will open \u201cThe Range\u201d, a new-generation golf facility designed to broaden the game\u2019s appeal. The concept blends technology-driven practice, a high-quality short-game area, an 18-hole putt-putt course, retail and PGA-qualified coaching, creating a venue that appeals equally to golfers and non-golfers.<\/p>\n
