The six-course "Nicklaus Golf Trail" in the Spanish Region of Murcia was originally part of an ambitious golf-property development called Polaris World. With changes in ownership the courses became known as the IRM Golf Experience, then IRM Nike Golf, and now GNK Golf. The "trail" offers six championship layouts with affordable villas, houses and holiday apartments bordering the golf.
The six resorts/courses (with their original Nicklaus Trail straplines) are: Mar Menor (the original), La Torre (the challenge), Saurines (the desert), Riquelme (the championship), El Valle (the tournament) and Alhama (the signature). The courses are all located within a 25-mile radius of each other, south of the city of Murcia and easily reachable from the airport at San Javier.
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.
