Ile Aux Cerfs, Mauritius
My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Mauritius. This was a great opportunity to play Bernhard Langer’s Ile Aux cerf golf course located on a small island just of Mauritius. Apart from the golf course there is a wonderful beach, water sports and a fantastic restaurant where you sit up in the trees.
The whole experience was fantastic. The boat trip is just a perfect start to the experience. You are picked up on the island and driven to the clubhouse. The clubhouse is very nice and facilities are a like high-end spa and wellness resort. You somehow feel seclude. It was very quite when we visited, and there was generally very few people on the Island.
Ile Aux Cerfs golf course was really good and challenging. I especially remember the long 11th which is a 565m par 5 dogleg that ends up on a green with beautiful views of the ocean. Also the 3rd hole is a great par 3 hole with a large bunker set in front of the green and water both short and long.
Check out The lizard.
My Experience
You need to be accurate off the tee to shoot a good score. Many holes are tree lined and not particularly wide fairways.
We stayed at the Belle Mare Plage. They were able to book the tee time at a reasonable rate compared to their standard green fee. After golf my wife and I walked a long trip around most the island. It was just fantastic. White sandy beaches and clear blue water. A golf experience that ranks high on my list and one to try again….
[…] Heritage Golf Club is located on the South coast of the island of Mauritius. It is part of the Heritage resort with several hotels close to the golf course. We stayed in the Heritage Awali which is a nice 5 star resort with a great beach, facilities and service. We also stayed a few days on the Island of Ile Aux Cerf in the Bubble Lodge located on the beach which is an amazing experience. There is also the Ile Aux Cerf Golf course on the Island which is highly recommendable and you can see my experience playing the course here. […]
