Brown Deer Park
Brown Deer Park Golf Course: Milwaukee's most renowned municipal course was originally designed by George Hansen and founded in 1929. The course was partially redesigned by Andy North and Roger Packard, and has hosted PGA Tour and USGA national championships.
The challenging layout is home to 60 sand-filled bunkers, tree-lined fairways, and a creek that's much in play, especially on the back-nine. The creek flows northwards through the course en route to the Milwaukee river.
Fanning out in two nine-hole loops from a clubhouse that's a designated historic site, the layout is walkable, well-maintained and generally affordable. The tree-lined parkland layout includes many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Certainly one to include on your play list if you are visiting the Milwaukee area.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted. Golf carts available to rent.

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.
