Rya Golfklubb: A real mix of seaside and parkland golf lies in wait here at Rya on the shores of the Oresund. The first four holes are next to the sea and catch the worst of the wind - get round these in par and your luck's really in.
A short (stiff) climb takes you up to the main part of the course where a classic parkland landscape is interspersed with spectacular views across the Oresund to Denmark and the island of Ven. The par-5 8th and par-4 10th both require good drives in a seaward direction from significantly elevated tees.
The golf course is well presented and the terrain rolls up and down before the par-3 16th drops you back down to clubhouse level for the closing two holes.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Official handicap required.
Players generally walk this course. A limited number of golf carts are available for hire and must be booked in advance.

Rya was originally established in 1934 as Helsingkrona Golfklubb and changed to Rya two years later in 1936. Looking north from Rya golf course you clearly see the top part of the Oresund, where the sea between Sweden and Denmark narrows to just 4 kilometres - the closest these countries come distance-wise.

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.
