Limestone Springs Golf Club: Nestling in a valley between two ridges of tree-covered hills, the up-market residential development of Limestone Springs can boast a championship golf course that is a delight from first to last.
With unobtrusive villas skirting only a few holes, the course retains all the naturalness and tranquillity of this Appalachian foothills environment. A glimpse from the back tee of the plunging downhill par-4 1st will be enough to whet any golfer's appetite for the round to come.
After this dramatic opening hole, you are eased into the remainder of the front-nine with good-width fairways laid out between towering pine trees. The bunkering is not too severe, but beware the alpine-green lakes and creeks that come into play on several holes.
The water hazards of the front-nine are replaced by dramatically undulating terrain on the back-nine, where many wonderfully crafted holes weave their way through the natural woodland, passing limestone bluffs (cliffs) and rocky outcrops along the way.
One of the most scenic, although toughest tee-shots you'll need to make is at the terrific par-3 12th; the green is protected by a creek to the left and towering pines to the right.

Limestone Springs Golf Club is located in the southernmost foothills of the USA's oldest mountain range, the Appalachians. The range, which started its formation a billion years ago, runs north from central Alabama (around Montgomery) to Newfoundland in Canada, covering a length of just over 2,000 mi (3,300 km).

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.
