Bastad (Nya)
Båstad Golfklubb (Nya/New course): The second course of Bastad, the Nya Banan (New course) is yet to reach full maturity but is certainly a challenging and interesting golf course.
More open and longer than the Gamla Banan (Old course), don't be fooled by the first few holes, which might give the impression of an awaiting big hitters' paradise. The rude awakening comes at the par-5 6th, with water from tee to green on one or other sides of the fairway. From thereon the course is subtle, challenging and great fun, especially if the wind is blowing ...... oh, and beware the small ponds, particularly in front of the 17th green.
The views over the Kattegat are extensive, but the course hasn't yet acquired the greater charm of the Old course. What it does do however, is contribute to a great 36-holes of golf on offer at Bastad.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance (visitors can book 5 days ahead of day of play). Maximum handicap: per player 36; total per tee-time 100.
Soft spikes only. Players generally walk this course.
Excellent

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.
