Tramore Golf Club: This gently undulating parkland golf course, with wonderful views onto the Comeragh Mountains in the background, has a fine reputation amongst local and visiting golfers alike.
Very little has changed about the course since it was originally constructed; it quickly matured into one of the best courses in the south of Ireland. The relatively flat terrain is home to good-width fairways and not too many bunkers, although two streams flow through the course, creating one or two water hazards to be negotiated on your way round.
At just under 6,700 yards off the tips, Tramore is a fair test for golfers of all abilities - but don't be fooled by its undeniable beauty, stray shots do not always go unpunished.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Originally located much closer to the sea, the original Tramore 9-hole course used to take a fearful battering during storms. The course was progressively moved inland, until, in early 1939, the Club moved to its present site on Newtown Hill, about 1 km from the sea. In 1987 Tramore hosted the first of its three Irish Close Championships.
Ireland's 90th 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.
