Narooma Golf Club: Saving the best 'til last is much enjoyed by golf course designers. Not so at Narooma Golf Club. Perched on top of impressive cliffs that run down from Wagonga Head, the first six holes here provide some of the most scenic and dramatic Pacific Ocean views you'll find on any Australian golf course.
Best amongst the scenic array of the opening holes, the spectacular par-3 3rd (Hogan's Hole) is played across the face of the seaside cliffs. Here the eroding and tunnelling effect of the ocean is clearly on display.
After the linksy, clifftop, opening stretch of holes, the layout turns inland at the difficult downhill par-4 7th, from which point you enter a pleasantly undulating, tree-lined environment. On the ensuing holes you'll be tested by several tree-lined fairways and others that are wrapped around a good-sized lake (known locally as Little Lake). You emerge from this natural lake and forest setting for the closing par-3 17th and par-5 18th, where once again magnificent Pacific Ocean vistas can be enjoyed.
Narooma could be described as one of Australia's rougher cut gems, but with its ocean views and contrasting front and back nines, it provides an always popular stop-over with visiting golfers from all parts of Australia and beyond.

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
