Punta Mita (Pacifico)
The Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita is home to two top-quality 18-hole championship layouts, the generally higher-rated Pacifico course and the also excellent Bahia course. Both courses are Jack Nicklaus designs. The Pacifico course is one of the top-rated and finest championship layouts in Mexico. The excellent tree-lined and open parkland layout contains a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes.
Spread over 200 acres, the course takes full advantage of its seaside location. Eight holes border either the Pacific Ocean or Banderas Bay, and offer views of whales during their seasonal migration.
The layout also includes a stunning par-3 on a natural island, and the memorable 13th hole, which runs alongside a quiet lagoon. Definitely a course that will challenge your all-round game, and well worth going out of your way to play.
At this Stay&Play venue, the on-site accommodations are located close to the golf facilities.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Excellent (incl a double-ended driving range).

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.
