Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club covers 38 hectares of the southern half of Ile aux Cerfs, a small island in the lagoon off the east coast of Mauritius. Bernhard Langer designed it, and there is no road: you arrive on the club’s shuttle boat from its jetty at Pointe Maurice, or by helicopter if you arrange one. Every hole looks out to the water, some through gaps in the trees and others right on the shore. Sun Life runs the club, and guests at four of its hotels play without a green fee, which shapes how most visitors approach it.
Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club green fees and tee times.
Send a request through the club’s tee-time form, email reservations@iacgolf.mu or phone +230 402 7720. A form request is not confirmed until the club replies, and the club warns that your preferred time cannot be guaranteed. Starting times run at ten-minute intervals from 7.30am, and you should be with the starter at the 1st tee five minutes before yours. In busy periods the club may add other golfers to your group. Guests of Long Beach and Ambre on the east coast, and La Pirogue and Sugar Beach on the west, get free green fees, and the nightly green fee in The Bay Club at Anahita’s golf package can also be used here. Sun Life lists a compulsory sustainability fee of Rs 100 per round, which appears on the club’s rate card as the island fee.

The round, in perspective.
The course is a par 72 of 6,469 metres from the black tees, set out with a 37 on the front nine and 35 on the back. Langer routed it over undulating ground with outcrops of volcanic rock, lakes and gullies, and the club counts nine ponds in play. Large waste bunkers sit against tropical planting, and the fairways and greens are Seashore Paspalum, a grass bred for salt air and heat. The front nine was reworked in 2013 and the back nine from June 2014, with the aim of making the course more playable for average golfers. Even so, the 6th is a par 5 of 601 metres from the back, and the 18th, at stroke index 1, is the hardest hole on the card. The short 8th, at 130 metres, gives you a breather. Wear golf shoes with soft spikes: metal spikes are banned.

Make the trip work.
Build the boat into your timings. The shuttle runs every 20 minutes between 6.40am and 5.30pm from Pointe Maurice, using a 24-seat boat, and the jetty has a car park watched by CCTV. Carts are compulsory from 1 October to 31 May; trolleys are only offered in the low season. If you fly without clubs, the club rents Callaway sets for one round, or for three, five or seven days at Rs 7,900, Rs 12,900 and Rs 16,800. The club does not supply plastic water bottles, so buy a glass bottle at the pro shop and refill it at the fountains.
Fly into Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU) at Plaisance. The Pointe Maurice jetty is on the east coast near Trou d’Eau Douce; allow roughly 45 minutes to an hour by road from the airport. From The Bay Club at Anahita the crossing is about five minutes. Air Mauritius can arrange a helicopter transfer on request if you would rather skip the drive.
Sun Life points golfers to four of its own hotels, all with free green fees here: Long Beach at Belle Mare, Ambre, an adults-only all-inclusive at Palmar, and, on the west coast, La Pirogue at Flic en Flac and Sugar Beach. The east-coast pair save a long cross-island drive. The Bay Club at Anahita sits opposite the island across the lagoon. For something different, the club’s site also lists lodges on Ile aux Cerfs itself; ask the club for details.
Make a trip of it.
Anahita Golf is the obvious partner: the Bay Club golf package covers either course, and the two sit on opposite shores of the same lagoon. The Legend and Links at Constance Belle Mare Plage are further north on the same coast. Off the course, the rest of Ile aux Cerfs is a leisure island with beaches, restaurants and lagoon activities, so non-golfers can take the public boats over and meet you for lunch.
Find your season.
The club makes carts compulsory from 1 October to 31 May, which covers the island’s high season and its hottest months; June to September is its low season, when trolleys come out. The last shuttle leaves at 5.30pm, which rules out a late twilight start, and a full round is allotted 4 hours 20 minutes.
