Belle Mare Plage (Links)
Belle Mare Plage Golf Club (Links course): Located in close proximity to the Constance Belle Mare Plage resort, you'll find its Legend and Links championship golf courses. Both lay down a testing, technical challenge for your game.
The considerably more undulating Links course is based on two challenging and natural nine-hole loops, where tightish, rolling fairways, volcanic rocky outcrops and several blind tee and approach shots are included among the course defences.
Called the Links due to its folding, undulating fairways, this well-maintained and cleverly sculpted layout is both tropical and parkland in nature, without having too much in common with a traditional, Scottish, through-the-sand-dunes, links layout.
Although predominantly tree-lined, the course opens out from time to time, sometimes providing an "extra" fairway to receive those most wayward of drives. From first to last you will be confronted by rolling, undulating and often tightish fairways, as well as wonderfully scenic views onto sugar plantations in the foreground and mountain peaks in the distance.
The island's volcanic origins are clear to see, with piles of volcanic rock tucked under the hole-lining flora. Occasionally you'll find a combination of rocks, vegetation and/or small ravines cutting into or across the fairways.
Only at the downhill par-4 3rd does water threaten on the front-nine loop, but this is more than compensated by an abundance of small lakes and ponds to be negotiated on the tighter back-nine.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Golf carts compulsory.
Excellent.
The Constance Hotels group has built its success on a unique collection of luxury hotels on the paradise island of Mauritius (Constance Le Prince Maurice and Constance Belle Mare Plage), in the Seychelles (Constance Lémuria Resort), in Madagascar (Constance Lodge Tsarabanjina) and in the Maldives (Constance Halaveli Resort).
The Constance Hotels Experience has recently been expanded with the addition of the Constance Ephélia Resort at Mahé in the Seychelles and the Constance Moofushi Resort in the Maldives.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
