The RG City Golf Club (aka Royal Gems City GC, and the Dream Arena) is on a journey to create a unique 63-hole multi-course golf centre. In their quest to build the "world's largest pure golf city", the first-cab off the rank is actually a "tribute course" ... but a rather special one.
Here in the northern outskirts of Bangkok, Ron Garl has replicated a pot-pourri of world-renowned golf holes on the front-nine. And for the back-nine ... if you've never played at Augusta National ( ... and the likelihood isn't you haven't), now's your chance!
Garl's replica holes on the front-nine loop give you the opportunity to sample Oakmont's "church pews", the island-green par-17th of TPC Sawgrass, Royal Troon's "postage stamp", Bay Hill's sweeping par-5 6th, and St Andrews infamous Road Hole. If that wasn't enough, the back-nine puts you onto Augusta National's back-nine, which you play hole for hole ... with we are told, all the relevant elevation changes.
Whether the quality of presentation and maintenance of these iconic golf holes has also been replicated, or even comes close ... you'll need to visit to find out!

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.
