As part of a trip to Mauritius I was lucky enough to play Il Aux Cerfs GC twice across 10 days stay nearby.
The course is amazing and in great shape. Welcomed at the dock by friendly boat attendants to take us directly to Il Aux Cerf. Both times met by buggies and attendants to help with clubs.
Pro-shop is well stocked if a little pricy with a variety of clothing and accessories. To note the golf was included as part of our AI package but a buggy was 1,400 Rupees. You also need to purchase water in advance or bring yourself
Recommend to take your own clubs. Rentals are expensive and quality very poor.
The course is amazing, tee boxes, fairways and greens are exceptional. Views are breath taking and offer a fabulous perspective of the island.
Buggies are needed with great GPS, but remember to change from meters to yards.
Afterwards lovely bar and bite to eat and service great.
Would highly recommend, one piece of advise would be for the club to improve the starter element as the few first holes can have groups stacking up.

For our honeymoon, my husband and I prebooked a private beach dining experience direct with the Golf Club before visiting Mauritius from the UK in Sep-Oct 2023, and we were not fully aware when we booked of just how exclusive and amazing this experience would be. It was honestly exceptional value for money and because we were staying at sister hotel Long Beach, we were able to add the cost onto our room bill to pay at the end of our stay in Mauritius.
We were picked up on the evening of 26th September 2023 by a private boat at night at the jetty and taken on a golf cart through the golf course to a dark beach. We assumed beforehand that we would just be eating at a private table in a beach restaurant, however it completely exceeded our expectations to find that we had the whole beach to ourselves for the whole evening and would be catered for by the very best and friendliest of staff; Nitish our waiter, Major the chef, and Varoon and Guyaume who did a beautiful job of lighting candle torches along the beach as we walked along, and strung fairly lights and scattered petals all around us, and lit a fire for us! They also took lots of photos and videos for us. It would make a gorgeous spot for an engagement and was perfect for our honeymoon.
Nitish and the staff were on hand all evening to cater for us and did a fantastic job. As did our taxi driver from Long Beach who waited at the jetty all evening for us, our boat taxi driver, and golf cart drivers, and the rest of the staff that made this experience so special. Also thanks to Kiran who helped us arrange the booking and transport effortlessly in advance by email. Nitish explained he was always looking for unique experiences to put on at the golf club, and this one was honestly one of a lifetime for us. We'll never forget it. We'll always remember Major (who has been a chef at the golf club for many year)'s fabulous cooking on the barbeque for our delicious 4 course meal, and the pineapple pudding was one of the best desserts I've had!
A beautiful job and wonderful staff. I honestly can't recommend it enough, and I hope one day that we can return to meet all the staff again and experience it all over again!!
To Nitish and the staff, thank you so very much for creating such a special and exclusive experience, and for a wonderful evening. It was the best night of our lives!

What a gem of a place! Beautiful setting stunning view lovely warm waters and the restaurant is the cherry on the cake! Delicious cocktails and burgers. But what made it even more special was the care and dedication given by Ketty when my husband Frederik cut his foot on a hache d'arme in the sea. She drove him to the first aid station at the public beach, made sure that he was treated and drove him all the way back. She then continued her duties as an excellent waitress. She really should be commended for going over and above her call of duty. Thank you Ketty we really appreciate your kindness 🙏

Great overall experience!
Course is in prefect shape, nice fairways, the ball jumps and rolls far. Greens aren't easy to play as they are fast and hilly, so be aware of that otherwise your ball lands in the water, bushes or rocks. Nice nature, there are palms, beach, tropical flowers - loved it. But be aware: Île aux cerfs doesn't give you any presents - one has to earn its score 😉 Wind comes from various directions, depending on the hole,
Welcoming and helpful crew, good flow of the flights.
I played it twice (hcp 41.7) - improved my score tremendously, the course and I just seem to match 😍 Looking forward to my third time on monday.
If on Mauritius, one has to experience this course - can be both: nightmare & a dream... but that's golf. You'll never forget the course, for one reason or the other.

Wow...What a golf course ...if you want to play somewhere spectacular then this the place so if in Mauritius a must to play.
I was here with 2 golfing friends and we originally was booked in for 3 rounds .. on Day 1 we we were picked up from our hotel (the Ambre) and then taken by shuttle to the dock where we were taken by boat yo the course (amazing views on the way ) then met and shuttled to the club house . Only cost for us was 1600 rupees for the buggy . .it was so tough on day 1 as a lot of blind shots , you have an excellent sat nav on the buggy but still a couple of hit and hopes ...day 2 and 3 were much easier when you knew where you were going ...Views on some of the holes I doubt will get bettered in the world..totally stunning ..
On day 2 the wives joined us to use the private beach and service was again superb .
After each day we had excellent service in the clubhouse restaurant...a big shout out to Sydney and the staff across the whole site as amazing service ..
Hope one day to return but if I don't will not forget this course , my favourite in 40 years of golfing

An exceptional experience but you pay for the uniqueness.
£160 a round, £100 for a polo shirt is a lot, having played around the world these prices are steep; but you pay for the uniqueness off this quirky course.
The boat trip, the welcome, the facilities and course are brilliant; the course being a challenge, especially the wind.
It’s not for the big hitters but you’d expect nothing less from a Bernard Langer designed course where you have to plot your way round a course to a lot of upturned greens; making accuracy key.
The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in good shape.
What’s nice is that your partner can also come and spend a few hours on the beach whilst to play and you can meet the after for a drink / food.
Nice experience but at a cost….hence why only the 4 stars..

We spent the day on the island and everything was perfect.
The golf is beautiful, the facilities are at the top as well as shuttle services.
The staff is a rare kindness.
A big thank you to Deepika who helped us and made us discover the most beautiful beach on the island. Very friendly beach bar.
Thanks also to Sanju who brought us back by shuttle and who, too, was really caring.
We will be back with pleasure!

We had lunch at Le Flibustier and loved it. The food was delicious, and the beachside setting was stunning. Our waiter, Shamim, was super friendly, attentive, and funny, which made the experience even better. Afterwards we enjoyed the gorgeous beach nearby. Highly recommend!

We had the luxury to play this amazing island course 5 times! The boat ride to the jetty on the island is one of a kind. The course is unbelievable and has some real challenges, already starting at the 1st hole. But wait till you get to the signature hole, hole 11, with breathtaking views of the ocean. The staff is incredibly helpful, picked us up from the jetty and made sure our buggy was ready to go during each round. Afterwards we were presented nice refreshing towels, while they took care of our clubs. Tip: leave your golf bags at the club if you intend to play multiple rounds, they're in great hands! Make sure to have lunch at the club house restaurant, Sydney and Kevin are superb hosts and the food is simply great.

Check this out and book if the price is ok, I did and found the golf course is more expensive, beautiful beach there for after the golf and they will drop you off there and pick up also to drop you back to boat.

Written 1 August 2018
Hi,
Probably a few questions here. I'm visiting Long Beach resort on an all inclusive holiday in September.
Do I need to book tee times ahead of my holiday?
Are buggies and range balls
complimentary under the all inclusive ?
Will my partner be able to join me for a round as a non playing passenger in the buggy?
Many thanks in advance.

As a beginner is it worth trying to play here? I’m not going to be there until July so intend to get a lot of practice before hand....or are there any other courses i would be better off trying to play? Or does anyone know how much the lessons are? Ty
Written 12 March 2018
Hi
I can answer the first question only. It is genuinely challenging. (I’m single figures). It depends where you see yourself in July from a golf point of view. It’s very pretty with great views but tough. If you are prepared to forego golfing pleasure for the scenery then give it a shot.
Written 12 March 2018
Hi there, Just want to confirm if the course will be open between the 26 - 31 August 2018. I know some courses undergo the summer program during August so just want to confirm as i don't want to miss out on rounds of golf. thanks
