Cape Cod Natl
If you want to play the private Cape Cod National course and you don't know a member, you'll need to book an overnight stay at the nearby Wequassett Resort. The green-fee for a round here, plus the Inn's room rate represent one of the higher Stay&Play rates you'll encounter in New England.
This predominantly tree-lined parkland layout is typically presented in immaculate condition. The generally good-width holes are handsomely bunker-defended, with several benefitting from changes in elevation. Water hazards are sparingly used, but they do threaten alongside the greens of the par-5 3rd, par-3 6th and par-5 15th.
If you're keen to sample golf in the area, but on a lower budget, next door to Cape Cod National you'll find Captains Golf Club, with two championship courses occupying similar terrain and crafted by the same designer, Brian Silva.
Private club - outside visitor play is restricted to guests staying at the Wequassett Resort & Golf Club, who can book to play on weekdays and weekends during golf season (March thru' Dec).
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted.

The vision of founder John R. Pfeffer and his wife, Linda, was to "build a private club dedicated to a limited number of serious golfers who enjoy the game and the company of their fellow club members."
Cape Cod National has played host to a number of United States Golf Association (USGA) and Massachusetts Golf Association (Mass Golf) events since the 2010s, including the U.S. Amateur Championship and U.S. Women’s Open qualifiers in 2018.

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.
