Monte Mayor
Monte Mayor Golf & Country Club: GOLF COURSE WAS CLOSED IN 2011, and acquired by a new owner (reputedly a Russian billionaire) in 2014. It is understood the course might reopen, but as of 2023 the course remains closed, with no restoration work started. Check current status before planning a visit.
[Original Where2Golf description]: A generally well-regarded golf course with several attractive features. This tree-lined and open parkland layout is well worth a visit and should provide an enjoyable and testing round.
Check with club (if and when it reopens).
Golf carts compulsory.
Monte Mayor was a member of the Blue Green golf group, which operates many courses throughout France, as well as one in Belgium (Durbuy). Discounts are available at all Blue Green courses if you hold a Blue Green Privilege Card. See the Blue Green website (bluegreen.com) for a list of all their courses.
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
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.
