Royal Keerbergen
Royal Keerbergen Golf Club: Laid out on flat terrain, this mainly wooded and compact course has many challenging and interesting holes. Three of the six par-3s require a testing carry over water, while many drives will need to be threaded through the avenues of trees that line the fairways. Perhaps the tightest of them all being the tee-shot at the good-length par-4 3rd.
Pick of the holes: the best hole on the course is arguably the lakeside par-4 18th, which invites you to take on as much of the lake as you dare with your tee-shot.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: 35.
Soft spikes only. Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

According to Belgian practice, and having passed the age of 50, Keerbergen was able to confer on itself "Royal" status. The logical conclusion of this strange practice, is that all golf clubs in Belgium will eventually become self-declared "Royals". One can only imagine this devalues the status of the original ten "Royal" clubs, that were actually played on by the Belgian royal family in the early 1900s.
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.
