Peel
Peel Golf Club is set inland behind the town of Peel, the largest town on the Isle of Man's west coast. The parkland golf course here is often rated as the island's second best course after Castletown ( ... although Ramsey GC and Mount Murray GC are also mentioned in this regard).
With its varied mix of holes, some tree-lined, others more open, this James Braid design offers lovely views onto the surrounding rural countryside and nearby hills. An array of natural hazards that you'll need to navigate around include streams, turf banks and gorse bushes.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

Following WWII, Frank Dalgleish (local seed merchant, farmer, butcher and House of Keys politician) recognised that a lot of money and effort was needed to resuscitate the club. He acquired the lease of the course, built an imposing clubhouse and helped to develop a vibrant social membership. His initiatives represented a major turning point in the Club’s post-war fortunes.
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.
