Daytona Beach (North)
Daytona Beach Golf Club (North course): Not only boasting (by some margin) the area's first golf courses, Daytona Beach's South course was laid out by one of the most significant designers in the history of the game, Donald J. Ross. Run as a municipal facility, both the North and South courses are not overly long by today's standards, but quite able to fully test and challenge your game.
After its revamp in the late 1990s, the North course is a fraction longer and arguably the better of the two courses. The North's front-nine is played through an attractively tree-lined setting of palms, pines and oaks, with a good mix of straightaway and doglegging holes, some quite tight, others more forgiving.
On the back-nine the environment is considerably more open (similar to the entirety of the South course). The revamped bunkering around the nicely elevated greens has created a much stronger look and greater challenge to the par-3s and approaches into several other holes.
With several shortish par-4s and par-5s in play, big-hitters may prosper here, provided they can handle the tighter opening holes, and stay out of several ponds that come into play.
Water is at its most threatening at the par-3s and the tightly doglegging par-4 5th and 15th holes. The short par-5 17th is played to an island green, surrounded by Smitty's Pond. Daytona Beach Golf Club is located just a mile or so from the centre of Daytona Beach.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

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.
