Church Stretton
Church Stretton Golf Club: immensely scenic "moorland" golf courses are not in short supply in England's western counties. Gloucestershire can boast Cleeve Hill, Minchinhampton (Old) and Painswick, while closer to the mid-Wales border you'll find Kington and Church Stretton.
The par-66, 5,000-yard layout at Church Stretton sits atop the stunning Shropshire Hills, with panoramic views aplenty. A sandy soil base and excellent drainage underlines the course's year-round credentials.
If you do manage to avert your gaze from the views, you'll find bracken and heather lining the fairways, which snake through hills and cavernous valleys. Tricky greens ask tough questions of your putting stroke. Perhaps more rugged and a tad quirkier than some (the layout starts with three par-3s), your shot-making (and physical fitness) at scenic Church Stretton will most assuredly be tested.
Visitors welcome on weekdays, and after 2:30pm on weekends.
Must book in advance.

Church Stretton is a historic market town located in the heart of the South Shropshire hills on the English/Welsh borders (known as Welsh Marches). At one time the town was principally known for its textile industry, especially connected to the wool trade.
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.
