Lake Placid (Mountain)
The Lake Placid Club is home to two championship layouts, the Links and Mountain courses. Both are well-rated and popular courses. The Mountain course is a tree-lined parkland layout that should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy.
The course features breathtaking views of the Adirondacks, including New York's highest peaks, Mt Marcy and Mt Colden. The scenic spendour starts with the first hole located high atop a hill beside the new Adirondack-style clubhouse. A course to include on your play list if you are in the area.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends during golf season (April thru' Oct).
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted.

Lake Placid's Mountain Course was laid out in 1910 by Alexander H. Findlay, often called the "Father of American Golf". Like Seymour Dunn, who designed the resort's Links course, Findlay immigrated to the U.S. from Scotland.

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.
