Alpine Golf Club: For a long time the standard bearer for top-rated golf in Thailand, it is easy to fall for the undoubted charms of this excellent layout. All manner of trees, bushes and shrubs, including a wonderful variety of palm, mahogany and cork trees, flourish within this exotic and undulating parkland layout.
It is hard to imagine that Alpine was originally created from rice paddies - as flat as can be. In sharp contrast, the golf course is now home to significant elevation changes and a wonderfully rolling undulating design. Water is still much in evidence, along with beach-style bunkers, which most notably protect the front of the par-3 3rd and 12th holes.
Alpine is not for the faint-hearted. Some of the drives you'll need to make feel as tight as driving through the streets of downtown Bangkok. Finding the often water-protected greens is also no mean achievement.
The 7th and 11th holes are both played to what, in essence, are island greens. Sitting side-by-side, each is connected to the other by a small sliver of land. With these relatively small putting surfaces to aim at, it's astonishing that Tiger Woods actually eagled the 555-yard par-5 7th on his way to winning the 2000 Johnnie Walker Classic.
Alpine is clearly a layout that will test the best, but also one that is full of wonderfully picturesque holes, lots of lush vegetation and, for the Bangkok area, an extravagance of undulations and "alpine" earthmounding.

Alpine has hosted many top level tournaments including the 13th Asian Games in 1998, Johnnie Walker Classics, Thailand Amateur Championships and the Thailand Ladies Open. Tiger Woods won the Johnnie Walker Classic here in 2000.
The golf course received a major facelift in 2003, since when it has maintained its status as one of Thailand and Asia's best courses.

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.
