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

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
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.
