Victor Harbor Golf Club: The most exciting, scenic and memorable shot you'll play at Victor Harbor is your first. Perched high above the rest of the course, the layout's first-tee is located alongside the also elevated clubhouse. Stretching out before you is a fabulous panorama, prominently featuring the Southern Ocean and the area's distinctive hills and coastal rock formations.
The good-length, rifle-straight par-4 opener, plunges away down the hill, connecting you to the remainder of the course, which is a relatively flat, nicely tree-lined, parkland layout. Amix of tall eucalyptus, mature pines and many other native tree varieties line the usually good-width, sometimes tightish fairways.
The small Inman River loops around the northern section of the course, but don't expect much here in the way of water hazards, except for two or three small ponds that come into play on a couple of holes.
Large, dish-shaped greenside bunkering threatens at several holes, although not all. Except for a small climb at the end of the front-nine loop, and a ski-tow that gets you back to the clubhouse from the 18th green, significant elevation change is confined to the spectacular opening hole.
Good maintenance and presentation standards are generally the case on this pleasant, tree-lined, parkland course. There is no housing on or around the perimeter, just a wonderfully natural environment of native trees and bushland, a rich haven for all manner of birdlife.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available for hire.

Separated by the Hindmarsh River (and its associated walking trails), the historic fishing and whaling port of Victor Harbor and smaller community of McCracken, combine to form one of South Australia's premier holiday resort destinations.
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.
