Sedona Golf Resort: The world-renowned and towering red rock formations of Sedona form the principal backdrop to this wonderfully challenging and dramatically scenic golf course.
On your out-and-back journey around the course, the front-nine gently winds its way up the early slopes of House Mountain, with the equally testing back-nine bringing you back down again to the clubhouse. Along the way you will enjoy fabulous views onto some of the area's most famous and best loved rock formations, not least Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte and the fabulous Cathedral Rock.
Cascading back down the hillside from the signature par-3 10th, you may feel a few of the remaining par-4s and 5s could be included in the world's "toughest" golf holes list, especially with tight fairways and semi-blind drives greeting you from several tees.
Housing flanks some of the holes here, although never too closely. The often tightish fairways are flanked by cactus and single-berry juniper trees, as well as occasional rocky outcrops and plenty of red-sand bunkering.
Pick of the holes: Sedona's signature 10th hole awaits at the top of your climb, furthest away from the clubhouse. This good length par-3 is spectacularly framed with the immensely beautiful and distinctive Cathedral Rock rising up in the distance behind the green. Little wonder the hole is included in many listings of the World's Greatest Golf Holes.

Located in Arizona's high desert under the towering southwestern rim of the vast Colorado Plateau, the area around Sedona is one of Arizona's premier tourism, recreation, resort, retirement and art centres.
Characterised by massive red-rock formations, as well as the contrasting and spectacular Oak Creek Canyon, the area surrounding Sedona is considered at least as beautiful as many national parks. The cool high desert nights in summer, also attracts many local visitors.
The story concerning the naming of Sedona is well known. Theodore Carl Schnebly and his wife, Sedona, moved to this area from Gorin, Missouri. The few ranching families living here convinced T.C. to establish a post office in his large home. Legend has it that he asked the government to name the post office, Schnebly Station or Red Rock Crossing. He was told the names were too long, and following a suggestion by his brother, he submitted his wife's name, Sedona. And so it was.

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.
