Halifax Plantation
Halifax Plantation Golf Club nestles alongside the Bulow Creek and Ormond Tomb State Parks, with their magnificent expanse of century-old oaks, tall pines and natural vegetation. Designed by Bill Amick, the course was created to challenge the novice and expert golfer with its choice of elevated tee boxes and undulating greens.
Although the 18-hole golf course is routed through a residential development, it retains several stretches flanked by the State Park's expansive woodlands, giving many parts of the course a pleasantly natural feel. Water only comes into play on a couple of holes, with a forced carry over a small creek required at the par-4 12th.
A pleasant mix of trees and unobtrusive housing lines the way as good-quality fairways lead you to the good-sized, well-bunkered greens. Two roaming nine-hole loops provide a constantly shifting scene as you progress around this attractive and characteristically Floridian layout.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

On the east side of the golf course is Bulow Creek State Park, which protects one of the largest remaining stands of southern live oak forest along Florida's east coast. The predominant tree here is the Fairchild Oak, one of the largest live oak trees in the south.
On the east side of Bulow State Park is the Halifax River, from which the course takes its name. The river forms a small part of the USA's massive Intracoastal Waterway. This 3,000-mile navigable shipping channel, which doesn't involve the open sea, runs from Massachusetts in the north, all the way round to the tip of Florida in the south, and then onto Brownsville in Texas. It comprises various saltwater rivers, canals, bays, inlets and sounds.
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.
