Wantzenau, La
Golf de la Wantzenau: Laid out on flat terrain, with plenty of water hazards and some newish real estate around the course, Le Wantzenau cannot help but give the impression and feel of a modern American style of golf course.
The layout ensures your golfing skills will be suitably challenged, while the generally good greens contain many tricky slopes to test your ability with the putter. Although some holes are tree-lined, the general impression here is open, with water being a significant threat on several holes, especially as the back-nine progresses.
The 11th, 15th, and 18th are all par-4s demanding a good quality drive to stay dry; the par-5 dogleg 16th also has plenty of water up the right side, and the par-3 17th is water from tee-to-green (sharing the same small lake as its twin, the equally watery par-3 4th hole which comes the other way).
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
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.
