It’s been voted best in Indian Ocean several times and it shows. Challenging course. Bear in mind that trolleys can be rented as well - as they will rightly protect the course after heavier bouts of rain. And walking the course in the heat/humidity is additionally challenging

Dear Golfer,
Thank you very much for your great review.
We are glad to read that you found our course to live up to its name as the best golf course in the Indian Ocean and we hope that the complimentary fruit, biscuits and juice at our halfway gave you some extra energy whilst you had to walk your way around the course on those rainy days.
Hoping to see you out on our course again soon.
Kind Regards,
Jonathan

We have been playing Le Chateau Golf Course since 2013 whilst we have been staying at Le Telfair (with the exception of the Covid years). The course is a challenge for most golfers and requires more course management than you may think. The Par 3's are all particularly challenging and require the correct club selection. Holes 4 and 17 are particularly difficult. For the long hitters there are risk and reward holes but if you think your way around you can score well. The greens are quite 'grainy' so you need to take some care and many break far more than they may look. Holes 3 and 4 are particularly difficult.
The golf course is always very well maintained with nicely raked bunkers. The sand is quite heavy especially if wet.
The Club House (overlooking the final green) has a good selection of wines and beers and the food is always good with snacks or meals. The staff are always very friendly, courteous and friendly.
Clean and well serviced restrooms.
Driving range.
Helpful and courteous staff in the Proshop and clothing, though whilst expensive, is very good quality and some really nice colours and designs.
Caddymaster and his staff take care of your cart and clubs. You can leave them at the store or take them to your room when using the shuttle bus to either Awali or Le Telfair.
All in all the course deserves to be No. 1 in the Indian Ocean and even if you don't play well you can still enjoy the experience.
Depending on your package golf and carts plus drinks may be included.

Dear Mike,
It was great to welcome you back to Heritage GC once again. Thanks for highlighting all of the aspects of your experience that you enjoyed and for giving other golfers some great insight into what they can expect when booking their round at Heritage GC. Its encouraging to read that you still view us as the #1 golf course in the Indian Ocean after 9 years of visiting our property.
We're looking forward to welcoming you back for the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open and your Christmas stay.
Best Golfing Regards,
Jonathan

Heritage Golf Club had recently hosted the Afrasia Open Golf Tournament. But that aside we have played the course on many other occasions over the last few years and it has always been it tip-top condition. Fairways are immaculate and greens similarly. The rough is pretty friendly but don't stray into the long grass as you can say goodbye to your ball!!!!! It is a challenging course from the Blue Tees and Red Tees and course management is essential. Buggies and pull carts available and a good length driving range. There is a teaching-Pro for lessons. I had the privilege to play from the Tournament Tees (6100 metres plus) with a European Tour Pro and that is difficult and long for the average length player. The greens are very undulating and tricky to read and knowing which way the 'grain' lies is a help. The General Manager and his Green Staff do a great job in maintaining the high standard. Great staff who are always friendly and helpful. The Proshop carries some very nice lines in clothing and is priced similarly to Proshops at up-market courses elsewhere. Always an absolute pleasure to play Heritage and we will be back for 2 weeks in December.

Always great to welcome you back to Heritage Golf Club; if I'm not mistaken this was your 7th trip out to Heritage so thank you for your support. I am glad that you once again enjoyed your time with us and in particular the condition of the course. We were indeed glad to be able to pair you with our European Tour and German golf ambassador Marcel Siem.
We look forward to welcoming you back in December 2020 and wish you a year filled with pars and birdeis until we see you again.

Would have been 5 out of 5 except for the fact that I was not offered local water at the restaurant for lunch and had to pay Rs300 for a very expensive imported water. The bill mentioned Evian but the water served was another imported brand.
The competition was well organized and played on a magnificent golf course that is always kept in tip top condition. Hope to come back soon.

Heritage GC is without a doubt one of my favorite golf courses I have had the privilege of playing. I have hosted several golf groups at this facility and Jonathan Menteath (General Manager) of Heritage always ensured that the golf experience from start to finish was flawless and consistent in every way. Their attention to detail on and off the course stood out for me and I cannot wait to return to my favorite holiday destination. Without doubt this should be on everyone's bucket list. Keep up the great work, you guys rock!

From the moment you enter the premises, you are greeted and your golf bag is removed from your car. Very friendly and courteous staff from the bag collector to the golf manager.
Lovely course where you will enjoy your round with some stunning views, beautiful fairways and fast greens.
The restaurant staff are also very caring and looks after the guests very well.
A must play course when visiting Mauritius!

Incredible course, with unbelievable views and journeys through nature. The impeccable course is beautifully maintained and offers a true test of golf. The club house is perfectly placed and brilliantly kept.
If there a course you need to play, Heritage should be it.

Heritage Golf Club has always been in tip-top condition. Nearby to the Heritage hotel complex with shuttlebus transfers available. The course layout requires a bit of management. It is not a 'hit it and rip it' course. Greens are tricky but always in excellent condition. Bunkers and fairways always manicured.
There is a nice putting green adjacent to the clubhouse and a practice range near No10 tee.
The Proshop has a nice array of clothing plus souvenirs, balls, etc.
Staff have always been very helpful and pleasant and smart.
Carts are available but you can walk the course if you wish.
The Clubhouse serves good meals or snacks and there is plenty of choice for drinks.
All in all a highly recommended venue whether staying at Heritage or visiting from an outside hotel.

I'm thinking of going not the Heritage Awali in September and would definitely take my clubs. Is this considered to be the high or low season from a golfing perspective (ie. how busy is the course likely to be)?

Bel Ombre7 contributions
Dear Mike M,
September would still be low season and the course will be at a comfortable level in terms of bookings. You shouldn't have any pace of play issues. If you intend playing alone I would recommend going off early as this will allow you to get around very quickly; you can then enjoy the rest of the day. We do hollow tine the greens in September so please email me on jonathan.menteath@heritagegolfclub.mu and I'll advise you in more detail on when exactly to book to avoid any course work. I also recommend booking your tee times in advance so that you are sure you have the times you most prefer.
I trust this helps and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Golfing Regards,
Jonathan

If the buggys are expensive, what do the trolleys look like at the golf course if you decide to walk? Are they like Click gear carts that you push or the old type you pull behind yourself?

hello,
we're staying at TUI Sensimar lagoon beach resort in march for two weeks and im looking to play a round of golf whilst staying.
how far is the course from my hotel location?
what are the prices for 18 holes and equipment hire for clubs only?
can you recommend who to book through to make this arrangement and transfer?
Jonathan M
Bel Ombre1 contribution
Dear Emily,
Many thanks for contacting us. The Heritage Golf Club is a 1h40 minute drive from TUI Sensimar so in Mauritian terms it is a fairly long drive to get to us. Having said that you might like to spend the day down in the southern part of the Island where we are located. You could play golf in the morning and enjoy a lunch and perhaps some afternoon activities at our resort? The cost per round including a 1/2 buggy per person is Rs6450 and clubs are Rs1950 per set. You are welcome to book tee times by emailing golf@heritagegolfclub.mu. I would recommend booking a transfer with a taxi, this can be very easily arranged when you are at your hotel through their concierge.
Kind Regards

Hello
I am travelling to Heritage Awali on 29 April for 2 weeks. I am a middle handicap off 8 and bringing my clubs and wonder the following:
Is it possible to get early tee times?
What time is the first tee time?
Do you recommend buggies or is walking possible?
As I am a single person does this create a problem or do the starter's pair players up with someone if possible?
How do you go about booking a time... with course or through hotel please?
Thanks in advance.
