Eagle Creek, FL
Eagle Creek Golf Club, Orlando: Although laid out as part of a residential development, this is undoubtedly one of Orlando's most enjoyable and well-rated courses. Always well maintained and presented, comprising two nine-hole loops, the course is distinctly linksy and Scottish in character, open and exposed to the wind when it blows through here.
The nicely mounded, good-width rolling fairways are excellently bunkered. In abundance are the traditional links-style sod-faced revetted bunkers; these fiendish "pots" are often deep and penalising. You will usually enjoy plenty of width to drive the ball, but your approach play and short game will need to be good to score well.
The large, excellent quality, undulating greens will thoroughly test your putting skills. The pleasant environment at Eagle Creek is accentuated by its natural setting of woodland and open brush. Much less in evidence is relatively discreet housing.
Pick of the holes: the par-3 8th with a deep, revetted bunker guarding the right side of the green and a more expansive sand trap on the left side; the par-3 11th which combines deep greenside bunkers with a large sandy waste apron, and the par-5 18th, a great risk reward hole combining excellent bunkering and a water hazard to cross in front of the green.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Golf carts compulsory; 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.
