Artitaya Resort
Artitaya Golf & Resort (formerly known as Nichigo Resort & Country Club) can certainly boast a very elegant and challenging 36 holes of golf course, laid out in the sort of environment where beautiful swans glide serenely across lily-filled ponds.
In its earlier 27-hole guise, the River-nine was fabulous, ably supported by the Lake and Mountain nines. The surrounding jungle-clad, craggy hills provide a spectacular backdrop for the course, which is generally characterised by holes lined with tall, mature trees, and plenty of water hazards in the form of small lakes.
On the River course you'll encounter two distinctive bridges. At the par-3 3rd, an ivy-covered, jungle-style "rope" bridge brings you from the tee-box across a water hazard to the green below. Behind the superb par-4 6th green there is a replica of the bridge in Kanchanaburi which is now dubbed the Bridge on the River Kwai. Only on the outside of the dog-leg on the par-5 4th (another excellent hole) will you get a glimpse of the famous river.
The Lake course is so called based on the par-4 3rd hole wrapping itself around a small lake, and the same lake providing a watery tee-to-green shot at the par-3 4th. Thereafter the Lake course becomes a classic example of a slightly undulating, wooded parkland layout, without too much water coming back into play.
Plenty of finesse is needed on the more undulating Mountain-nine, which wends its way over sloping terrain, flanked at times by a snaking creek and offering some of the most spectacular views of the limestone hills.
Often regarded as one of the best golf resorts in the River Kwai area, Aritiaya is now apparently Korean-owned, and attracts a large number of visiting Korean golf groups. This can have an impact on pace of play.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted. Golf carts available for hire. Caddies used by all players.

A bridge has been incorporated the layout, a smaller scale replica of the bridge in Kanchanaburi, which is known as the Bridge on the River Kwai. Although that description is entirely accurate, the Kanchanaburi Bridge is not the one famously blown-up in the 1957 film "Bridge on the River Kwai".
The film is actually based on a fictional novel by Pierre Boulle ("Le pont de la rivière Kwai"). Boulle's story takes its cue from the actual building of the Thailand - Burma military railway in WWII, during which time several bridges and over 250-miles of track were constructed. The appalling treatment of the enforced labour (mainly enslaved Malays and military prisoners of war) and the resulting tragic cost in human lives, earning the railway the title, the "death railway".

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.
