Hubbelrath
Golf Club Hubbelrath (East/Ost course): here at one of Germany's most prestigious golf clubs you will find two Bernhard von Limburger designed parkland golf courses: the highly-rated and always demanding championship East course (Ostplatz) and the much shorter West course (Westplatz).
The rolling and characterful East course, laid out on exuberantly undulating terrain, provides a tree-lined challenge that will fully test your golfing skills, and probably every club in your bag. This absorbing layout occupies a setting where mature trees of many varieties define the holes and border the course.
The ever-undulating terrain ensures plenty of elevated tees and greens, with several blind tee and approach shots in the mix. Big-hitters will savour some of the holes here, while others, especially on the back-nine loop, are more suited to careful shot-making. The two back-nine par-3s both measure well over 200 yards from the tips.
Ever-undulating, the big-dimension, rolling front-nine gives way to a seemingly more technical back-nine, starting at the much tighter feeling downhill par-4 10th. The many elevated greens often require longer approach shots than you may at first think, while the greens themselves frequently slope gently uphill from front to back.
Pick of the holes: the elegant par-3 7th hole occupies a garden-like corner of the course, with two large ponds flanking the leftside of the hole.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends; more restricted on weekends.
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap required. Maximum handicap (men & women): East course 26.4, West course 36.0.
Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2024].

The club's full title is Golf Club Hubbelrath - Land und Golf Club Düsseldorf e.V., the second part of which translates as Dusseldorf Golf & Country Club. The club should not be confused with the entirely separate Düsseldorf(er) Golf Club, which is located 8 km to the northwest outside Ratingen.
Hubbelrath has hosted numerous top level tournaments including the German Open Championship on several occasions, the German Ladies Open, BMW Ladies Classic and recently the Ladies European Masters (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Hubbelrath).
East course:
Germany's 6th best course (Golf World, 2022).
Continental Europe's 196th best course (Golf World, 2025).

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.
