Bali Hai
Bali Hai Golf Club is home to a championship golf course that ranks with some of the best in Nevada. This South Pacific inspired layout is accented by a tropical environment of palm trees, expansive sandy waste areas and cascading water features. Mandalay Bay (the hotel that is), provides a backdrop to the north-facing holes.
The Schmidt-Curley designed layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. A must play if you are visiting Vegas. Although billed as "the only championship golf course directly on the Las Vegas Strip", Wynn Golf Club might argue that it sits directly behind its eponymous hotel ... on The Strip.
Stay&Play at Bali Hai: luxury onsite accommodation next door, see Where2Stay section below.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted at certain times. Caddies and forecaddies available on request, and highly recommended by the Club.
The Bali Hai golf course is not just inspired by the South Pacific, but takes its name from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "South Pacific". In the musical the volcanic island of Bali Hai is a mystical island, visible on the horizon but not reachable.
Bali Hai was based on the island of Ambae, which is visible on the horizon from Espiritu Santo island in Vanuatu in the South Pacific. James A. Michener referred to the island in his book "Tales of the South Pacific", which provided the basis for the hit musical South Pacific.

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.
