Viera East Golf Club: Like one of its near neighbours (Baytree National), Viera East pleasantly plays through a residential development in a classically Floridian golf setting.
This relatively open and flattish layout weaves its way along good-width, gently mounded fairways. The rough is accommodating rather than penal. Plenty of relatively shallow fairway and greenside bunkering is built into the mounding.
Many holes are attractively lined and well defined by palms, oaks and pine, with the housing generally set back out of harm's way. Like many a Florida course, wetland areas and small lakes make their presence felt on several occasions.
The par-5 14th is played to an island-green, while the par-3 7th requires an accurate shot onto a peninsula-green. Several other greens are closely flanked by water, requiring good quality approach play to get close to the pin, but stay dry at the same time.
A bit of traffic noise drifts across the 6th, 8th and 11th holes, which are played closest to I-95, but nothing that will overly disturb your enjoyment of this pleasant and challenging, if not overly dramatic, parkland-residential course. The "Hook & Eagle Tavern" provides a welcoming and comfortable clubhouse restaurant in which to conduct your après-round post-mortem.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

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.
