The Links Course
Belle Mare Plage Golf Club
About this course
The Links at Belle Mare Plage occupies coastal terrain on Mauritius's eastern shore, where the Indian Ocean provides both scenic backdrop and strategic influence on play. Designed by Rodney Wright with input from Peter Alliss, the course reflects a links-inspired philosophy adapted to the tropical island setting. The routing takes advantage of prevailing trade winds that sweep across the relatively flat landscape, making club selection and shot shaping essential considerations throughout the round. The layout features generous fairways bordered by native vegetation and strategic bunkering that echoes traditional seaside design principles, though the climate and flora differ markedly from British links courses. Several holes play directly along the coastline, where ocean views and wind exposure create memorable moments. The course serves as part of a luxury resort property, attracting both international visitors and local golfers who appreciate the combination of challenging design and dramatic setting. The conditioning reflects the resort's commitment to maintaining playing surfaces suitable for year-round golf in Mauritius's tropical climate. Water features appear on select holes, adding variety to the strategic demands. The Links represents one of the island nation's premier golf destinations, offering visitors a distinctive round that blends links design concepts with the unique character of an Indian Ocean island setting. The course has helped establish Mauritius as a golf tourism destination within the broader African and island golf landscape.

Getting there
The gateway to Belle Mare Plage Golf Club is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU), roughly an hour's drive north along Mauritius's eastern coast. The route traces the island's windward shore, where sugarcane fields give way to glimpses of turquoise lagoon through stands of casuarina and palm, the Indian Ocean a constant presence beyond the reef. As the road narrows into Poste de Flacq, the transition is marked by a quiet turn toward the beachfront, where the club's manicured fairways emerge against a backdrop of white sand and endless blue - an arrival that feels less like reaching a destination than slipping into a different cadence of time altogether.
