Goring & Streatley Golf Club: Breathtaking views over the Thames valley and rural Oxfordshire await, but only after you've achieved the "breath-taking" climb from the par-4 2nd to the tee-box of the par-4 5th. Having recovered your breath, you can then enjoy the next nine holes, set on a gently undulating downland plateau with good width fairways, modest bunkering and beautifully slick greens.
This well-maintained golf course saves its best 'til last, starting at the driveable par-4 14th, adjacent to the slightly delayed "halfway" house. The closing stretch reveals further splendid views, and drops you gently back down to the clubhouse with a strong series of holes. The downhill par-4 18th is a real gem.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; weekends only at off-peak times with Club Mgr's permission.
Must book in advance. Handicap required

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.
