Golf Clément Ader: Located just outside Gretz-Armainvilliers, and surrounded by the tranquil Forest of Armainvilliers, Clément Ader lays down one of the toughest golfing tests to be found around Paris.
The elegance and comfort of the large chateau-style clubhouse, should not fool you into thinking this will be a relaxed and easy-going test of golf. Water and tightish fairways, some very tight, are the principal defences here, while good quality bunkering is also in plentiful supply.
Laid out on flattish terrain, this popular and usually well-maintained course will challenge all aspects of your game, not least your ability to hit the ball straight, especially down the many pond-lined holes. With its Irish heritage and ownership, Clément Ader has often been referred to as the Irish golf course in Paris!
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

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.
