Course Highlights

1 Top-20 Golf Courses to play once in your lifetime — Golf World magazine

Reach it by boat or helicopter. An island all to yourself — 18 holes sculpted around mangroves, tidal pools and lagoon views by Bernhard Langer.

Bernhard Langer Design

2-time Masters Champion Bernhard Langer designed this masterpiece in 2003, blending sugar plantation heritage with world-class championship architecture.

Lagoon & Mangrove Setting

Mangroves, volcanic outcrops, and the glittering Indian Ocean lagoon threaten play on almost every hole — golf and nature perfectly intertwined.

Langer's Bar & Grill

The on-island restaurant and bar provides a perfect 19th hole — dining with views over the lagoon to the Mauritian mainland.

Course Overview

There is simply nowhere else like Île aux Cerfs Golf Club — 18 championship holes set on a private tropical island, accessible only by boat or helicopter across Mauritius's largest lagoon. Bernhard Langer's 2003 masterpiece winds through a former sugar plantation, with mangroves, volcanic outcrops, and glittering ocean water threatening on almost every hole.

For over a decade it stood unchallenged at the summit of Mauritian golf rankings, beloved for its combination of world-class design and sheer dramatic beauty. The on-island Langer's Bar & Grill adds a civilised finale to what is, for most visitors, the round of a lifetime.

Signature Holes

Hole8

The Pulpit

Par 3 · 125yds

A 125-yard short hole where the green sits high on a pulpit above the fairway, enclosed by trees on three sides — the most photographed par 3 on the island.

Hole11

The Sea Turn

Par 5 · 520m

The island's definitive hole: a long par 5 playing toward the ocean with mountain views of the Mauritian mainland — birdie chance for the brave.

Hole15

The Mangrove

Par 4 · 380m

A demanding par 4 where mangroves and lagoon water tighten the landing zone — the approach must carry a shimmering hazard to an elevated green.

Anahita Golf

Beau Champ, East Coast

Designed by golfing icon and former world number one Ernie Els, Anahita Golf Club is one of Mauritius's most celebrated and internationally acclaimed courses. Unveiled in 2008, the 18-hole course was crafted to blend seamlessly into its natural surroundings, with sprawling fairways stretching along the coastline and numerous holes offering breathtaking vistas of the crystalline turquoise lagoon. Built to meet international standards and drawing on Els's extensive experience across courses worldwide, Anahita appeals to golfers of all skill levels — a feast for the eyes as much as a genuine challenge. The course has also earned its place on the professional circuit, most notably hosting the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, where rising French star Matthieu Pavon secured a remarkable second-place finish in 2018. Pavon has since named Anahita as one of his favourite destinations for both leisure and golf — a testament to the enduring appeal of a course where world-class design meets one of the Indian Ocean's most stunning natural settings.

Avalon Golf Estate

Bois Chéri, Central Highlands

Avalon is an open, rolling layout designed by Peter Matkovich that is surrounded on all sides by breath-taking views. To the south is the ocean, where early starters can catch the rising sun as they start their game. A peek in the opposite direction provides a view of the majestic mountains that surround Grand Bassin – the largest natural lake in Mauritius, which was created by a now-extinct volcano.
