Mollymook Golf Club (Hilltop course): This very pleasant and often testing parkland golf course, known locally as "The Ultimate Challenge", is set in a natural and undulating environment of towering eucalyptus trees. Many testingly tight, tree-lined holes allows the course to live up to its local reputation, although there is often more space on the fairways than you'd at first think.
On several occasions, especially when playing the tighter dog-legging holes and a few that bring water into play, you'll be well served by placing a premium on accuracy versus length.
The front nine is more undulating than the flatter back-nine, although the stiffest climb of all comes at the rifle straight, uphill par-5 17th. Your reward for making the climb is a scenic glimpse back to the Pacific Ocean, the only sea view offered from the course.
High-flighted approach shots are needed to several elevated greens, where deep bunkering could easily penalise you a shot or two. In this wonderfully natural setting, with its impressively tall gum trees, you can also enjoy a wonderful array of birdlife, including noisy, colourful rosellas and inquisitive kookaburras.
In addition to the 18-hole championship Hilltop course, just a kilometre or so away you'll find Mollymook Golf Club's Beachside course. This nine-hole, par-33 layout sits atop the southern tip of Mollymook Beach and ambles around the scenic Collers Beach inlet.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Official handicap required.
Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available for hire.

The Hilltop course has its own clubhouse and facilities.

Hilltop course:
Australia's 82nd 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. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
