Kalgoorlie Golf Course (home to the Goldfields Golf Club): A mere 590 km east of the city of Perth, the municipal Kalgoorlie Golf Course is not somewhere you'll necessarily rush out to. But if you do happen to be visiting or passing through, this very enjoyable desert course offers one of Australia's unique golf experiences.
Benefitting from Graham Marsh's proven design skills, the championship layout provides plenty of golfing challenges to players of all levels. Set in natural bushland, red arid soil lies beyond the attractively bunkered and well-maintained holes. A wide array of native wildlife lives around the course, no doubt some it in the tall gum trees that accentuate many of the good-width fairways.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Australia's 57th best course (Australian Golf Digest, 2024/25).
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.
