Wolf Run Golf Club: GOLF COURSE PERMANENTLY CLOSED IN 2018, pending a possible presidential development.
[Original Where2Golf description]: Developed as a private men-only golf club, women members are now being accepted at Wolf Run, as well as outside visitors on a restricted basis. This Steve Smyers design lays down a tough golfing challenge, where rifle straight shot-making will be needed to hit several narrow fairways.
At times exuding an open linksy feel, at others more tree-lined, plenty of stylish bunkering and several threatening water hazards also maintain the testing golf challenge at this quiet and wonderfully natural layout.
Course permanently closed in 2018.
Wolf Run was conceived in the early 1980s by the late Jack Leer, a local dentist and amateur golfer, whose dream was to build a demanding golf course emulating the style of a 1920s design. To realise his vision he turned to Steve Smyers, a designer greatly influenced by the legendary architects of the 1920s and 30s.
Known as the "Golden Age" of golf course design, the golf architects of the 1920s and 30s included the likes of Harry Colt, Alister MacKenzie, Albert W. Tillinghast, Donald Ross, Charles Blair Macdonald, William S. Flynn and Stanley Thompson.
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. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
