Talking Rock
Talking Rock Golf at Quaaout Resort: On the shores of Little Shuswap Lake, the excellent Talking Rock golf course and lakeside Quaaout Lodge combine to create a wonderfully relaxing resort experience - the pride of the Little Shuswap Indian Tribe. Here you can test your golfing skills on a top-quality layout, while extending your knowledge of Native Indian food and culture.
Golfers of all abilities will delight at this pleasantly challenging and excellently maintained course. Laid out in natural woodland with no intrusion from roads or real estate, the good-width fairways weave their way through avenues of pine, traversing the gently undulating terrain. As the round progresses the elevation changes and captivating scenery build to a memorable finish.
Among a great collection of scenic golf holes, two standout as world class. After a gradual climb at the preceding three par-4s, you reach the elevated tee of the stunning par-3 15th. This one-shot hole, framed by the lake and a spectacular mountain backdrop, is played downhill to a heavily bunker-defended domed green.
The other standout hole, the par-4 18th, runs back to the Lodge directly alongside the lake. From the final green you are treated to a fabulous lake and mountain view, no different than standing beside an enchanting loch in the Scottish Highlands.
Lower handicappers may feel the width of one or two fairways is too generous, while some holes could benefit from additional bunkering, especially given the relative absence of water hazards. But brutal or penalising golf is not the objective here. Unwinding in gloriously natural tribal lands fits the bill far better.
The Talking Rock logo, the eyes and nose of a black bear, is an indicator of the wonderful variety of wildlife that can be seen on the course. And that may occasionally include a black bear or two.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Golf season is March thru Oct.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available to rent.
Excellent.

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.
