The Links Golf Course - Belle Mare Plage
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to play The Links Golf Course for ideal conditions?
We've found the sweet spot for playing The Links is during Mauritius's dry season, typically from May to November. You'll enjoy cooler temperatures and less humidity, making your round much more comfortable. Expect a consistent breeze, which is a signature challenge here and adds to the links feel.
How challenging is The Links for an average golfer, and what should I expect?
The Links is a fair test, but it's certainly playable for golfers of all handicaps if you choose the right tees. Its open, windswept layout means you'll need to control your ball flight, especially when the wind picks up, which it often does. Don't be intimidated; focus on smart course management, and you'll have a blast.
What's a standout feature or hole at The Links that I shouldn't miss?
You absolutely can't miss the dramatic par-3 11th hole, which plays over a significant water hazard with the ocean breeze often dictating your club choice. It's a true risk-reward shot that perfectly encapsulates the course's character and offers stunning views. The overall "links" feel, with its undulating fairways and strategic bunkering, is also a unique highlight in Mauritius.
Is The Links Golf Course good value for money, considering other options in Mauritius?
While green fees at The Links are on par with other top-tier resort courses in Mauritius, we genuinely believe it offers excellent value for the experience. You're getting a meticulously maintained course with fantastic service and a truly unique links-style challenge in a tropical setting. If you're staying at Constance Belle Mare Plage, you often get preferential rates, making it an even better deal.
What practical advice do you have for someone playing The Links for the first time?
Our top tip for first-timers at The Links is to embrace the wind and play smart, not heroic. Consider taking an extra club on approach shots, especially into the breeze, and keep your ball flight low when possible. We also recommend booking your tee time well in advance, particularly during peak season, to secure your preferred slot.
