Perranporth Golf Club: Perhaps not one of England's best known links golf courses, but surely one of its most scenic. The sand dunes here at Perranporth are impressive, creating a wonderfully undulating layout that will demand your best quality shot making from the tee and as you approach the many elevated greens.
The layout at Perranporth includes quite a few shortish par-4s and not too many bunkers. An inviting proposition you may think. But there are several blind shots to make on the way round, so playing to your handicap may not be a realistic target, especially on a first outing here.
From the many scenic vantage points on this absorbing James Braid layout, you'll enjoy views out to sea, down into Perranporth village and across its impressive and expansive beach. Inland there are fine views onto the rolling Cornish countryside. The splendid lookout from the 14th tee is one to savour.
Stay&Play at Perranporth GC: onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.

In the 19th century Perranporth was a tin mining village. It is now a family seaside resort with miles of unspoilt beach attracting surfers, sunbathers and yachters. The town is also known for holding the Lowender Peran Folk Festival in October.

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.
