The mission of Where2Golf.com
The golf course guide which we have compiled at Where2Golf.com contains the knowledge-base and impressions accumulated by two much-travelled golfers. Our aim is to help the travelling golfer find the best.
Where2Golf started over 20 years ago, and has steadily grown to now include details of the world’s 5,000 top courses (public, private and resort). We have played 1,500 of the courses featured, and made a full 18-hole cart tour of a further 1,000. Based on our coverage and knowledge base, we've been adopted by Today’s Golfer as panel members for the Golf World course rankings (GB&I and Contl Europe).
The golf course reviews with ratings showcase the golf courses that we consider to be the best. Where2golf.com is not exhaustive and some golfers will no doubt be disappointed not to find a review of a course they consider to be a personal favourite. However, this unique guide represents a wide and rich selection of courses that travelling golfers from around the world would be very interested to play.
Our “Search by Maps” feature (homepage) is always popular, and takes readers to a feature page for each course.
Complementing our course details, there are substantial sections on golf Tournaments (majors, top tours, team events, etc), a Who’s Who section (c.850 of the great and good), and a Dictionary section. We don’t include sections on Equipment or Instruction.
We have sought out and played what most golfers would describe as the “best” golf courses in the following locations:
AMERICAS:
USA: 25 States
Canada: Atlantic; British Columbia and Alberta, Ontario, Prairie Provinces, Quebec
Caribbean Islands
EUROPE:
Continental Europe, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland
ASIA:
China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand
AFRICA:

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.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
