Palais Royal, Agadir
Golf du Palais Royal d'Agadir is a very private golf course, located in the grounds of the Moroccan royal family's summer palace in Agadir. Although laid out on dunes that face out onto the Atlantic Ocean, the course sits out of public view behind the palace's high walls.
Commissioned by King Hassan II of Morocco, the layout was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr, and his lead designer Cabell Robinson. The excellently crafted holes gently meander over the seaside dunes, with plenty of vegetation lining the way, as well as stylish fairway and greenside bunkering. A few ponds occasionally threaten.
Unless you're acquainted with the Moroccan royal family, the chances of you playing here are very slim indeed. But as a frequently used European Tour venue, the doors to enter this royal facility are not entirely closed.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members of the Moroccan royal family and their invited guests.
Private course; exclusively for the Moroccan royal family and their guests. Definitely no outside visitors.

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.
