Golf D'Arcangues: There's plenty of variety in terms of golfing terrain and surroundings here, but thankfully Fream's excellent layout holds them all together in a nicely balanced and very pleasant golf course. Where the front-nine is predominantly wooded, the back-nine loop is considerably more open, apart from three holes that circumnavigate a rambling old chateau.
There's plenty of elevation changes on the course, with many holes taking you up or downhill. A few make use of some flatter terrain. The generally good-width fairways lead to well-defended greens, which are great to putt on.
From the course the views are simply stunning. In the distance you'll see the mighty Pyrenees; in the foreground the wonderfully rolling and heavily wooded Basque countryside. If you have a camera ensure the batteries are still charged for the 17th tee, where you'll enjoy the best of all the views.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed Mondays (Nov-March).
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap (July & Aug): 35.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

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.
