Halmstad (Sodra)
Halmstad Golfklubb (Sodra banan/South course): Often referred to as "Tylosand", Halmstad Golf Club is one of Sweden's top Stay&Play venues. In 1967 it was decided to split the original 18-hole layout as part of a project to create two separate courses at Halmstad. The original front-nine was incorporated into the new South course. With the addition in 1979 of nine new holes designed by Frank Pennick, the South course still has much in common with the North course, although it may not command as much of the limelight as its more revered sibling.
As on the North course, the individual sculpting of each hole through the surrounding pine forest creates a wonderfully natural and tranquil golfing environment. The South is flatter than the North, which arguably provides one of the biggest differences between the two. The excellently presented holes are lined by plenty of pine and silver birch. Accuracy from the tee will serve you well, but you'll also need to navigate around several small ponds that appear just where you don't expect them. It's worth studying the course plan at each tee box to avoid surprises.
Tylosand's North course is regularly rated as one of Sweden's top courses. It's admirably complemented by the also enjoyable and testing South course. They are certainly two of the most popular layouts in Sweden; a reasonably priced green fee makes sure of that.

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.
