Waterford Golf Club: This attractive parkland layout is located on a hill overlooking the historic town of Waterford. The front-nine places a premium on accuracy from the tee, while the back-nine is perhaps a little more forgiving.
The solid closing stretch culminates in a classic finishing hole, played from an elevated tee on the highest part of the course. Once you've taken in the wonderful views, you drive downhill onto a narrow fairway, with gorse bushes left and right.
The course is renowned for the quality of its greens, which will give your putting a good examination, although lower handicap players may be left wanting a longer and more challenging test for their overall game.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Soft spikes only. Players generally walk this course. Caddies available.

It was perhaps somewhat prophetic that Oliver Cromwell's invading soldiers named the hill which rises above the bridge and bay of Waterford, Mount Misery. Little did they know that many years later this stretch of land would be transformed into a golf course.

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.
