North Hants
North Hants Golf Club is located at the western edge of a fabulous collection of heathland golf courses. Each resides on a large area of sand-belt that starts in the east with the likes of Wentworth and Sunningdale, heads south and west through The Berkshire, Swinley Forest and the three W's (Woking, Worplesdon and West Hill) and eventually comes to a conclusion here at North Hants.
Like so many of the aforementioned, North Hants also started life as a relatively open heathland course, but the growth of trees has re-defined it (and most of the others) into something better described as wooded heathland. Pine, birch, rhododendrons and the like, now mix freely with the swathes of heather and gorse that originally dominated the heath. The result here at North Hants is a picturesque layout, full of pleasant undulations and well-shaped holes, requiring a relatively straight game from the tee and good shot-making thereafter to score well.
North Hants is a deceptively challenging course. With its large greens and several long par fours, it's capable of testing golfers of all levels. Every year it stages the Hampshire Hog - a prestigious and long established 36-hole men’s scratch amateur event.
Visitors welcome on weekdays, and weekend afternoons (on a limited basis).
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap required.

North Hants is the home club of English professional, Justin Rose. When aged only 14, he won the club's most presitgious open amateur tournament, the Hampshire Hog, setting a new course record of 65 in the process. When Justin turned professional in 1998, he was still only a junior member of the club.
England's 96th best course (Golf World, 2025).

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.
