Åland Golf Club (in Finnish, Ålands Golfklubb) is located in the far southwest corner of Finland on the largest of the Åland Islands. Laid out on a cape between two inlets in the region of Kastelholm, you will find two 18-hole layouts, the lakeside Castle course (Slottsbanan) and more forested King’s course (Kungsbanan), as well as the shorter 6-hole Princess (Prinsessan) course.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Official handicap required to play either 18-hole course on Fri-Sun.
Most of the Castle course offers views over Slottssundet Bay, across which you can see Ålands only castle, Kastelholm. In the 16th century, King Eric XIV of Sweden was imprisoned in the castle's tower.
The King's course is named after the famous King Gustavus Vasa, and is located in the ancient hunting grounds of the Royal Manor of Kastelholm where Swedish kings used to hunt elk hundreds of years ago.
Castle course:
Continental Europe's 94th 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.

The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
