RACV Healesville Country Club: Nestling in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and only a 75-minute drive from Melbourne, the centrepiece of RACV Healesville is its 18-hole golf course designed by Mike Clayton.
Surrounded by beautiful native trees and vegetation, the partly open and partly tree-lined layout is well short of championship length. But that really doesn't seem to matter.
At just under 5,000 metres (5,400 yards) off the back tees, the par-68 course occupies attractive and gently undulating terrain. Clayton's well-crafted layout, with six par-3s, several short par-4s and a couple of shortish par-5s will thoroughly test your all-round game, while also offering some good scoring opportunities.
RACV Healesville is the perfect antidote to golfers obsessed by length. Here a premium is placed on accuracy. Most amateurs will no doubt enjoy the chance to bag a few more pars than usual. In this pleasantly natural golfing environment, the main objective is not to blast away with a wayward driver, but to relax, enjoy taking in the Yarra Valley environment, and above all .... combine your golf with having some fun!

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.
