Brokenhurst Manor
Brokenhurst Manor Golf Club: Spectacular might be too strong a word to describe this very pleasant, gently undulating golf course, which is laid-out in three 6-hole loops, each originating and ending near the spacious Clubhouse. Although deep in the New Forest, you will not feel too hemmed in by trees, the course being more open than one might expect.
Water hazards appear infrequently, with only one or two of the usually flattish fairways crossed by small streams. Generally it is the well-placed bunkers and occasional roller-coaster greens that will present the major golfing challenge.
Apart from an occasional train that may speed past on the nearby mainline railway, it is more likely to be the knocking of woodpeckers and cooing of doves that breaks the tranquillity and silence of this enjoyable, Harry Colt designed, woodland course.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and after 9:15am on weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

In 1079, William I of England (1027-1087), better known as William the Conqueror, is attributed with naming a large swathe of woodland and heathland in southern England, "Nova Foresta". Little could he imagine that nearly 1000 years later his new hunting forest (which occupies virtually the whole of south-west Hampshire) would still retain its charm, mystery and romance.
The Manor near the village of Brockenhurst, was originally an Elizabethan farmhouse. Somewhere in its history the "c" of Brockenhurst went missing !

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.
