Constance Hotels & Resorts, with over 30 years of experience in the realm of golf, is driven by a true passion for the sport. The hotel group has perfected the art of crafting exceptional golfing experiences, set against the enchanting backdrop of sea and scenery in magical settings. Designed by esteemed professionals such as Hugh Baiocchi, Peter Alliss, and Rodney Wright, the three golf courses cater to amateurs and professionals alike, offering a challenging and captivating golfing experience. These 18-hole championship courses, meeting PGA standards, have welcomed illustrious players like Scot Colin Montgomerie, American Tom Lehman, and Welshman Ian Woosnam. As a pioneering golf presence in the Indian Ocean region, Constance Hotels & Resorts opened its first course in 1994 at Belle Mare, Mauritius. The Legend Golf Course, nestled beside one of Mauritius’ most stunning beaches, swiftly became a favourite among professional golfers.
Mauritius: Where Golf Meets Paradise
In Mauritius, discover the Legend Golf Course, where golfing nirvana awaits. Set against the backdrop of the island’s stunning beaches and designed by Hugh Baiocchi, this course meanders through a lush former hunting reserve, offering panoramic views and exciting challenges. Water hazards and tree-lined fairways offer ample opportunities for thrilling play, while the meticulously renovated greens meet USGA standards, ensuring a superior putting experience. The Legend Golf Course has been a premier destination on the European Senior Tour since 2009, hosting the prestigious MCB Tour Championship each year. This year, the championship will be held from December 5th to 10th, 2024.
Adjacent to the Legend Golf Course is the Links Golf Course, both part of the Constance Belle Mare Plage hotel. Designed by Rodney Wright and Peter Alliss, this 18-hole, par 72 course stretches over 5,942 meters, boasting natural fairways, strategic bunkering, and undulating greens against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. Volcanic rock formations add local flair and challenges. Despite its less wooded landscape, precision is paramount, promising a memorable round in stunning surroundings.
Nestled along Belle Mare’s sandy beaches, Constance Belle Mare Plage offers world-class accommodations, expansive dining options, and a luxurious Spa. Accommodations range from suites to villas, exuding contemporary elegance with stunning views of either the Indian Ocean or lush tropical gardens.
