Falsterbo Golfklubb: here at the southern end of the Falsterbo Peninsula you'll find the Oresund strait on one side of you, and the Baltic Sea stretching out on the other. You'll also find one of continental Europe's true links golf courses. Falsterbo occupies a strip of relatively flat sandy links land, pure links indeed, but not endowed with towering sand dunes or energetically rolling terrain.
Tee it up at Falsterbo, and there's no doubting you're at the seaside. There's a large lighthouse (dating from 1795) in the centre of the golf course, small lakes and reed beds flanking several holes, and sea views in abundance. The best of those views come on the back-nine, culminating at the par-4 17th tee, which sits farthest out on the tip of the peninsula.
Although quite flat, Falsterbo's layout keeps you thoroughly absorbed and revelling in links golf from start to finish. Characterised by superb greens, and dotted with a rash of revetted pot bunkers, the layout also retains its rustic qualities ... as all great links courses do. Make no mistake, this is one of Sweden's golfing crown jewels ........ worthy of its place on any list of great links courses.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap per flight: 100.

Falsterbo Golf Club was formed in 1909 on the initiative of keen golfer Erik Schweder, whose father was head of Malmö’s cycling club and also imported bicycles from England. Erik was sent over to learn the family business, and took the opportunity to play golf while in England.
Back in Sweden the duneland of Falsterbo was the obvious place to look for somewhere to continue playing. Erik and his friend Adolf Faxe started their search in the spring of 1909, and by October of that year had founded the golf club. Many members were recreational cyclists.

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.
