Here\u2019s What It\u2019s Like to Play It."},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Frankly, until I visited the place, I could not have told you that the dodo was native to the island of Mauritius. I suppose I had it down for Africa, somewhere Madagascar-ish, but there\u2019s every chance that\u2019s a post-rationalization.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I would have been wrong. Being a flightless bird, the plodding dodo never made it beyond the borders of the tiny Indian Ocean island and was swiftly ushered out of existence by Dutch settlers in the 17th century.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, for such a limited creature, the dodo has done well for itself in terms of name recognition\u2014everyone knows the dodo. Which is why I feel Mauritius\u2019s Heritage Golf Club should name its new course after the bird: There\u2019s a good chance these links will still be talked about in hundreds of years\u2019 time.<\/p>\n<p>La Re\u0301serve Golf Links (as it\u2019s currently billed) is a \u201ccontemporary links,\u201d so described because while it looks like it might have been lifted blade by blade from Scotland and offers panoramic ocean views on every hole, it never actually kisses the water.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it\u2019s surrounded by sugarcane plantations and a lushly forested nature reserve. Due to open in December, the course is slated to host the DP World Tour\u2019s Mauritius Open that same month (assuming everything goes according to plan, that is).<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of all that, I was one of a small group invited by the club to play La Re\u0301serve this spring\u2014in fact, the six of us, including a trio of key figures involved in its development, were the first to play the course, full stop\u2014a rare and glorious golfing honor.<\/p>\n<p>That meant my birdies on 12 and 13 were the first ever on those holes (my plaque proposals were declined) and, while scoring was rudimentary, I presume one of us now holds the de facto course record. All in all, a magical day.<\/p>\n<p>But I suspect it would have been the same had we played it a year hence, once the paspalum grass has fully taken root, the bunkers are filled with sand, and the place has been dressed with signage, a clubhouse, and the usual gloss of a high-end golf course.<\/p>\n<p>And make no mistake, Heritage Golf Club is thinking top of the top. The club\u2019s convivial GM, Jonathan Menteath, didn\u2019t hesitate to say the ambition for the Dodo\u2014sorry, La Re\u0301serve\u2014is to be ranked among the world\u2019s top 100 golf courses. Will it get there? Certainly the topography and layout give it a fighting chance.<\/p>\n<p>Cut into the hills that ascend away from Mauritius\u2019s white-sand beaches, the course is a carefully organized riot of grassy dunes, elevation changes, raised greens exposed to the prevailing southeasterly wind, and humps and hollows that make it look and feel more like Troon, on Scotland\u2019s west coast, than the tropical climes of Mauritius.<\/p>\n<p>Credit goes to South African course architect Peter Matkovich, now in his 80s, and his codesigner (and former Open champion) Louis Oosthuizen. Theirs is a magnificent achievement, much of which was brought to bear during a season of global lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge for many golfers, beyond those presented by the course, will be getting there. Mauritius, which is roughly half the size of Rhode Island, sits some 1,200 miles off the coast of East Africa. But as its reputation for sunny skies and palm-tree-lined beaches suggests, it\u2019s well worth the journey.<\/p>\n<p>Heritage Golf is part of the Heritage Resort, home to Le Telfair, a five-star, suite-only hotel with five restaurants, including Le Cha\u0302teau, a 19th-century building overlooking the course and preserved to offer a fittingly old-world dining experience. But back to the golf. No doubt La Re\u0301serve will prove memorable. Call it the Dodo, however, and it will be unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32143 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/mauritius\/sites\/61\/2023\/07\/sm_1689136462.098571.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/mauritius\/sites\/61\/2023\/07\/sm_1689136462.098571.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/mauritius\/sites\/61\/2023\/07\/sm_1689136462.098571-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/mauritius\/sites\/61\/2023\/07\/sm_1689136462.098571-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32144 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/mauritius\/sites\/61\/2023\/07\/sm_1689136469.623455.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/mauritius\/sites\/61\/2023\/07\/sm_1689136469.623455.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/mauritius\/sites\/61\/2023\/07\/sm_1689136469.623455-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/mauritius\/sites\/61\/2023\/07\/sm_1689136469.623455-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
