Dingle (Ceann Sibeal)
Dingle Golf Links (Ceann Sibéal): Perched on the most westerly edge of Europe this wonderful gem of a links course is resplendently laid out before you at the first tee. On a bright sunny day, there is no finer nor quieter place to enjoy a round of golf. Although a few kilometres off the well beaten tourist trail, the drive along Dingle Bay is as stunning as the Dingle Golf Links itself.
At Ceann Sibéal, to give the course its Gaelic name, the scenery, the layout of each hole, the bunkering and the greens all are top class. Whether gazing at the offshore Blasket Islands in the Atlantic Ocean or at mountains to the south and east, you'll be captivated by the scenery and challenged by the golf course.
The modest sized dunes shouldn't cause you too much trouble in golfing terms, but there are two things to be mindful of at Dingle. Firstly, a small burn winds its way across the course, coming directly into play on the opening hole and putting in several repeat appearances thereafter.
Secondly, check the weather forecast. When the Atlantic winds are blowing hard across this open exposed course, you'll need a good supply of golf balls for your round. If it's a case of wind and rain, then a well-tested set of waterproofs are also essential.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap (May thru' Sept): men 24; women 36. Proof of 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.
