Red Hawk (Lakes), NV
The Resort at Red Hawk offers many excellent amenities including two championship golf courses, the Robert Trent Jones Jr designed public Lakes course and the Hale Irwin designed private Hills course. Red Hawk's golf guests can enjoy both courses, which were built around the historic wetlands and cottonwoods of the former Wingfield Ranch.
The Lakes course, at 7,140 yards from the tips, challenges your game in a setting that features meandering natural lakes and springs. In contrast, the 7,161 yard Hale Irwin designed Hills course, is a pulse-quickening layout, characterised by several dramatic elevation changes, as well as wide inviting fairways and Augusta-style white sand bunkers.
Visitors welcome on weekdays & weekends on the Lakes course. Red Hawk's Hills course is reserved for members and resort guests staying at Red Hawk.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted (but must be requested in Pro Shop). Golf carts are fitted with GPS.

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.
