[Original Where2Golf description]: Paradise Palms is home to a well-rated and always popular golf course. This tree-lined and open parkland layout should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. One to include on your play list if you are in the area.

    Located just 20 minutes north from Cairns, Paradise Palms is situated amongst the lush, green rainforests and serene beaches of Tropical North Queensland. In a matter of minutes you could be on the unique beaches of Palm Cove, Clifton or Kewarra. The resort no longer offers its well-rated 18-hole championship golf course, originally designed by Graham Marsh and Ross Watson.

Recently visited

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.
