Barnbougle Golf (Bougle Run course): This newest addition at Barnbougle Golf, is set slightly back from the coastline, alongside the also Coore-Crenshaw designed Lost Farm course. Bougle Run's 14 holes comprise 12 par-3s and two par-4s.

Routed through some of the highest points of the entire Barnbougle complex, the Bougle Run layout sits on a tall, undulating ridge of coastal dunes between Lost Farm’s front and back nines. It offers many glorious vistas over the Lost Farm course and Anderson’s Bay.

Did you know?

Some may think the name Bougle Run comes from a small stream or brook that runs into the Great Forester River (which splits Barnbougle's Lost Farm course from it's parent Barnbougle Dunes course). In fact, "Bougle" is merely a contraction of Barnbougle, while "Run" refers to the layout of the course, which "runs" along a ridge of sand dunes between the front and back nines of the Lost Farm course.

Tournaments

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.
