THE
LEGEND
'The
Legend', the first of its kind
in Mauritius, designed by South African
champion, Hugh Baiocchi, is the crowning
achievement of the Resort, located along
one of the most superb beaches on the
island. Each of the 18 holes has distinctive
characteristics. Superb fairways are laid
in the heart of an indigenous forest,
culminating in the brand new greens, built
to USGA specifications. In our constant
effort to provide the perfect golfing
location, all 18 greens have been rebuilt
using Tif Dwarf grasses to ensure a perfect
surface. Time has also been taken to enhance
the natural beauty of a site originally
used to breeding deer. Teeing off from
the 17th hole (par 3) is a feast for the
eyes and a test for the nerves |
THE
LINKS
The
second Belle Mare Plage The Resort Championship
Golf Course, designed by Rodney Wright
and Peter Alliss opened in November 2002.
This 18-hole Links course was conceived
as a result of the success and demands
encountered by Hotels Constance's first
course, 'The Legend'. Sitting beneath
the clubhouse which faces the setting
sun, the course measures 5,942 m and has
a par of 71. Equipped with a practice
fairway, this 18-hole course is set in
a location which seems to have been naturally
created for the purpose.

LE
GOLF Du CHATEAU
With
a warmer season from December to April
and pleasantly cool weather from May to
November, the 205 acre, ‘Le Golf
du Château’, adjoining Le
Telfair Golf and Spa Resort, is an ideal
year round destination for golfing enthusiasts.
Designed by South African golf architect,
Peter Matkovich, the par 72 Championship
Course has receptive greens and wide undulating
fairways, which cut through the sugar
cane fields, against a backdrop of volcanic
mountains and breathtaking views of the
ocean. The land was originally part of
a working sugar plantation and much of
the landscaping and design features, as
well as the use of Vettiver and Mondo
grass, simulate the dramatic contours
of the estate fields, which still surround
the course. Golfers can enjoy a casual
lunch or more formal dinner at the estate’s
orginal homestead, the Chateau de Bel
Ombre, which has been integrated into
the course.
