Month: March 2023

Links Golf, Constance Belle Mare Plage, Mauritius

We had the opportunity to play the Links course twice, as the first time bought heavy rain and some golf hole closures.  with it being the wet season, we have been lucky to have the bandwidth to play at a later date before returning home.

We loved the elevations, the layout and the overall appearance of the course, but due to the heavy rain, the bunkers had suffered on both visits.  The first saw the bunkers land sliding to the middle of the bunker and the second saw deep water – which should have really been designated GUR.  The water was deep and murky and you couldn’t find the golf ball.

The game is hard enough!

Sadly the holes that had been underwater have also suffered because of it, and left some of the greens patchy and ill-repaired.

We know this is because of the time of the year we chose to visit, but did feel for those with less time to play the course again.

We did like the use of the volcanic rock shaping and contrasting with the lush green.  Deep ravines planted and in play on the 17th was great to see too.

This is such a great course with so many wonderful twists and turns, it was a real shame the weather affected it so badly, but we can only rate it on the day we played – or in this case the days we played!

Heritage Resort

We stayed at Le Telfair Golf and Wellness Resort, part of Heritage Resorts.  Colonial in its appearance, Le Telfair has around 150 rooms with the adjacent hotel, Heritage Awali, also having around 150 rooms.  Both hotels are 5*

Dining options include the something for everybody Annabella’s buffet restaurant, where we dined one evening and had breakfast in too.

Gin’ja was a special evening for valentines night for us, but judging by the wonderful food, this is a special restaurant for a special night any time – made with love, just for you.  

Lunch at the Infinity Blue in the Awali Hotel overlooking to ocean is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy some lovely food whilst taking a break from the sunshine.

Experience the 4X4 safari drive and a refreshing waterfall swim with Bel Ombre Nature Reserve, as part of Heritage Resorts, you can book this easily at reception.

Golf currently offers one 18 hole course, Le Chateau (see separate video for the full review) but there is also a lovely little par 3 nine holes too.  Great to hone your skills or just have a go with its relaxed approach. There will be more golf on offer at Heritage resorts later this year – watch this space.

For those wishing to up their game or iron out some niggles, the newly opened David Leadbetter academy is definitely worth a visit too – easy and simply to adopt instructions can make all the difference to your game and the enjoyment of your time on the course.

Finish off with a spa visit, great on your departure day, but be mindful the head massage whilst does leave you relaxed, the resulting hair ‘do’ might raise some eyebrows on the plane back home!

The ocean side resort in the South West of Mauritius is a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the relaxed family friendly atmosphere.
