Golf Club de Genève is home to a championship course that ranks in the top echelon of golf courses in Switzerland. Located in the commune of Vandoeuvres, at the top of the Cologny hillside, this handsomely bunkered parkland layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game.
Beyond the tree-line you'll get the opportunity to admire the city of Geneva, as well as Lake Geneva and its impressive fountain. But don't worry too much about water hazards on the course ... there are few. Later in the round the Alps and Mont Blanc provide the scenic backdrop to proceedings.
Here at Geneva's most prestigious golf address you can enjoy an ever-testing, excellently crafted Robert Trent Jones Sr layout. Fittingly, both nine-hole loops come to a close on a large double-green directly in front of the charming clubhouse and its usually bustling terrace.
Visitors welcome on Tues thru' Friday. Only members and their guests on weekends. Closed Mondays. Course open all year (weather permitting).
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: 28.

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.
