Eaglebrooke, FL
The Club at Eaglebrooke: occupying a quiet and predominantly natural environment to the south of Lakeland in central Florida, Eaglebrooke boasts an excellent quality golf course. Just make a small detour off the Orlando-Tampa Interstate (I-4), and you can pit your golfing skills against Ron Garl's well-designed layout.
In many ways a classic Florida layout, the housing around parts of the perimeter is thankfully never too intrusive. The course retains a predominantly natural feel.
Water threatens throughout on the scenic back-nine with the 10th and 11th, 12th thru 15th and the challenging 16th thru 18th wrapped around three good-size lakes. Most difficult of all is the par-4 13th, played from island tee-boxes, to an island fairway and then onto an island green.
Water is not present on half the front-nine holes, although large sandy waste areas take its place on the 5th, 7th and 9th holes. There are some pleasant elevation changes as at the well-bunkered, uphill par-5 7th.
In-between the plentiful water and sand hazards, you'll find generally good-width, relatively open and well-groomed fairways leading you towards large, nicely undulating greens.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted at certain times (usually afternoons).

Directly to the east of The Club at Eaglebrook is an area called the Lakelands Highland Scrub. This conservation area comprises over 500 acres of undeveloped scrubland on the "Lakeland Ridge", one of several elevated sandy ridges in Florida. The Lakelands Highland Scrub rises to more than 230 feet above sea level; previously it was surrounded by, or under water.
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
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.
