Paraiso del Mar, Mex
Paraiso del Mar Golf Course (formerly called El Mogote Golf Club at Paraiso del Mar Resort) is home to a well-rated open links-style layout. The course sits at the end of the El Mogote peninsula just across the bay from the Malecon (waterfront boardwalk) in La Paz. Complementing the golf facilities on this relatively undeveloped peninsula is the Paraiso del Mar Resort, which comprises a range of vacation rental villas and condos.
The golf course combines two different golfing worlds. A predominantly dune-covered landscape, reminiscent of traditional British seaside courses, is complemented by occasional lush tropical scenery.
Exuding a distinctly links-style character, the course employs the use of deep pot bunkers as well as bunkering built into the native vegetation that border the fairways. As a tribute to the Old Course St Andrews, the fourth and seventh holes play to the same shared double green.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed Mondays.
Must book in advance.

Paraiso del Mar's golf course at the tip of the El Mogote peninsula facing La Paz, earned the title of being the first "links" golf course layout in Mexico. It is also the country's first Arthur Hills-designed golf course and first Audubon Signature Sanctuary 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.
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.
