Anahita Golf sits on the Beau Champ estate on the east coast of Mauritius, facing Ile aux Cerfs across a sheltered lagoon. Ernie Els designed it, and it opened in 2008. Six of its holes run along the water, and the round closes past the ruins of the sugar estate that once worked this land. The course is run by Sun Life, which also operates The Bay Club at Anahita on the estate, while the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita has villas a few minutes away. Book The Bay Club’s golf package and a daily green fee is included; stay elsewhere and you book through Sun Life’s reservations team.
Anahita Golf (Beau Champ) green fees and tee times.
The Bay Club at Anahita’s golf package includes one complimentary green fee per person per night, usable at Anahita or at Ile aux Cerfs, with 55 practice balls; a golf cart is a supplement on both courses. Sun Life does not say whether guests on other rates get the same, so confirm with the resort on +230 402 2200 before you book. Golfers staying elsewhere use the Book Now button on the Anahita Golf site, which first asks whether you are a Mauritian citizen or resident, or call Sun Life reservations on +230 402 0100; the golf desk number printed on the scorecard is +230 402 3991. Sun Life does not publish a visitor green fee, so ask for a quote when you request a time. Pre-booked tee times carry a no-show charge of €100 for 18 holes and €60 for nine, with no fee if you cancel at least one day ahead. Four Seasons guests should confirm their golf arrangements with that resort.
The round, in perspective.
Anahita is a par 72 of 6,828 metres from the black tees, with five tee sets on the scorecard running down to 4,971 metres from the reds, so it is far kinder from the front than its full length suggests. Sun Life says Els built it to USGA standards. The estate site notes that Anahita has twice hosted the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. The old plantation shapes the golf: the 2nd plays past an old stone aqueduct, a dry-stone wall cuts diagonally across the 14th fairway like a Scottish dyke, and the remains of old walls and buildings count as immovable obstructions under the local rules. The 4th, Ocean Drive, is a par 5 along the Indian Ocean; the 8th, Manta Ray, is a par 3 of 233 metres from the back; and the 9th is a driveable par 4 with a burn across the fairway. The 13th climbs to a well-guarded green, and the short 17th drops towards the lagoon before the par-5 18th.

Make the trip work.
Plan your Anahita and Ile aux Cerfs rounds as a pair, because the Bay Club golf package allowance covers either course on any night of your stay. From October to April a cart is compulsory and walking or trolleys are allowed only in heavy rain, so budget for the cart supplement in the warmer months. Thomas Levet, the former Ryder Cup player, coaches at the Anahita Golf Academy during his stays, and the club’s site carries a profile of Alexander Levy, a five-time DP World Tour winner. The Il Forno restaurant in the clubhouse serves Italian food with views over the course and lagoon.
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU) is at Plaisance in the south-east. Beau Champ lies north along the east coast in the Grande Rivière Sud Est district; allow roughly 45 minutes to an hour by road, depending on traffic. The resorts arrange transfers, and the Bay Club address is Beau Champ, Grande Rivière Sud Est 40901. Ile aux Cerfs is a five-minute boat ride across the lagoon.
The Bay Club at Anahita, which Sun Life runs as a five-star resort, has junior suites, prestige suites and deluxe villas set within 213 hectares of gardens, two private beaches, a watersports hub and the GLOW spa. It is the obvious base, since its golf package includes the nightly green fee. The Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita, on the same estate, has villas and residences with private gardens and pools, and its own beach on Ile aux Cerfs. For a lower budget, Trou d’Eau Douce and Belle Mare to the north have smaller hotels within a short drive.
Make a trip of it.
Ile aux Cerfs sits directly opposite, and the Bay Club golf package’s nightly green fee can be used there too, making Anahita and Langer’s island course the natural pairing. The Legend and Links courses at Constance Belle Mare Plage are further up the east coast, and Mont Choisy in the north makes a long day trip. Away from golf, the lagoon has kayaks and boat trips, and the Grand River South East waterfall is reached by boat from this stretch of coast.
Find your season.
Golf runs year round. Sun Life makes carts mandatory from October to April, the hotter and wetter half of the year, which tells you when the course is hardest to walk. The east coast takes the south-east trade winds, so expect breeze on the oceanfront holes, especially on the par-3 5th, where the club’s hole guide tells you to allow for a right-to-left breeze off the ocean.
Yes. Golfers staying outside the estate use the Book Now button on the Anahita Golf site or phone Sun Life reservations on +230 402 0100. There is no published visitor rate, so ask for the price when you request a time. The Bay Club’s golf package includes one round per person per night.
Is Anahita still the Four Seasons golf course?
The course is now operated by Sun Life under the name Anahita Golf, alongside its Bay Club resort on the estate. The Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita still has villas there. If you stay with Four Seasons, ask the resort how it arranges tee times and green fees.
How long is Anahita Golf?
It measures 6,828 metres (7,580 yards) from the black tees and 4,971 metres from the reds, with a par of 72. The scorecard lists five tee sets, from black through white, yellow and blue to red.
What happens if I miss my Anahita tee time?
Sun Life charges €100 for a missed 18-hole booking and €60 for nine holes. There is no charge if you cancel at least one day in advance, so let the golf desk know early if your plans change.
