The long-awaited La Réserve Golf Links at Heritage Golf Club, Mauritius has been officially opened a few days before the DP World Tour/Sunshine Tour AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, taking place from December 14th to 17th, 2023. The co-designer of the golf course and former Open Champion, Louis Oosthuizen, will also be competing at this golf event. Inspired by the wild expanses of the great coastal golf courses, La Réserve Golf Links, a GEO-certified facility, plays hand in hand with nature. Nestled in a UNESCO reserve for people and biospheres, an experience for club members, their guests and the heritage resorts.
The new course impresses with extensive views over tropical bays, sandy beaches and the Indian Ocean. The Heritage Golf Club, located on the south coast of Mauritius, is one of the most sought-after golf destinations in the world and features on the „World Top Hundred“ list for luxury golf and beach resorts. Golfers, friends and families have the rare opportunity to play world-class golf and make unforgettable memories in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. Oosthuizen, who won the Open at St. Andrews in 2010, designed the first and only modern links golf course in the Indian Ocean together with golf course architect Peter Matkovich. This uses the natural landscape and striking elevations to define each hole.
Oosthuizen comments: „My love for links, the purest form of golf, will be felt on every hole at La Réserve Golf Links. I have a real passion for links golf and the way you can strategically position yourself on a golf course „You have to move around the course using a variety of different shots. Links golf challenges the mind and the game, which is why La Réserve Golf Links has been such a wonderful project to be a part of.“
Jonathan Menteath, General Manager of Heritage Golf Club, added: „La Réserve Golf Links is an exceptional world-class course and a game changer for Mauritius. With our new GolfZon Leadbetter Academy – the first and only of its kind in the Indian Ocean, we combine all the necessary elements/ Components to build our reputation as one of the most desirable golf destinations.“
Guests staying at the Heritage Resorts enjoy exclusive access to La Réserve Golf Links as well as all the amenities and hospitality of the two luxury five-star beachfront resorts – the Heritage Le Telfair, part of Small Luxury Hotels, and the family-friendly All- Heritage Awali Inclusive Resort – including the ultimate luxury experience in a 19th century castle.
