Legacy at Alaqua Lakes
The Legacy Club at Alaqua Lakes: An attractive tree-lined opening par-4 sets the scene for this excellent Tom Fazio-designed golf course, located just to the north of Orlando. The wonderful variety of straightaway and doglegging holes weave their way through an upmarket residential community, although with plenty of woodland and trees along the way, this top-quality design retains a strongly natural feel.
The ever-present bunkering is expertly crafted; avoiding it will often provide your biggest challenge from the tee. Water also plays its part, but perhaps not as threateningly as the course name might suggest - there are some notable exceptions! The large and undulating greens at the Legacy Club add to the enjoyable challenges of this layout, and will certainly test your putting skills and short game.
Pick of the holes: your round finishes with another excellent par-4; a pleasantly tree-lined hole that meanders up a gentle incline to an elevated, well bunkered green ... an 18th hole that ranks alongside many of the best parkland closing holes in Florida.
The Legacy Club is essentially a private facility, with limited opportunities for outside play.
Must book tee-times in advance.
Golf carts are fitted with GPS.

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.
