Anahita Golf Course

at The Bay Club at Anahita

Location: Beau Champ, East Coast, Mauritius | Style: Resort-Championship, tropical lagoon & mountain setting | Length: approx. 7,460 yd from championship tees | Par: 72 | Designer: Ernie Els, 2008

Opened in 2008 and built to USGA standards, Anahita Golf Course is an 18-hole championship layout set along the lush east coast of Mauritius and part of the The Bay Club at Anahita.

Designed by Ernie Els, the course weaves through tropical terrain, hug­ging the edge of a vast lagoon and backing onto mountainous landscapes. Wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and ocean-front holes define its character, making it both visually spectacular and a stimulating test of golf.

Course highlights

• Six holes skirt the water’s edge of the largest lagoon in Mauritius, offering unforgettable seaside views.
• The final three holes (16-18) deliver one of the most celebrated finishing stretches in the Indian Ocean region.
• Five (or six) sets of tees allow players of differing abilities to enjoy the course without feeling out of place.
• The venue has hosted professional events, including the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open in 2016 and 2018.
• Built to hotel-resort standards but with a genuine championship pedigree - ideal for golf travellers seeking luxury plus quality.

Signature Holes

While several holes stand out, the 18th hole truly defines the experience at Anahita: a par-5 finishing hole dog-legging toward the lagoon, with the clubhouse and restaurant overlooking the green. Many describe the finishing shot as "among the most spectacular in the world".

Clubhouse & amenities

The clubhouse at the Anahita Golf Course is contemporary in design, overlooking the lagoon and fairways. Facilities include a pro-shop, driving range, short-game zone, and on-site lessons via the resort’s golf academy.

For resort guests at The Bay Club at Anahita, one green fee per person per night is included (alongside 55 practice balls) when booked through the resort.

Post Round

After your round, you’re still in a luxury resort setting: relax with a drink on the terrace overlooking the 18th green, enjoy fine dining at one of the resort restaurants, or head to the spa for a little recovery. The resort’s villas and suites provide full comfort for golfers and non-golfers alike.
