In 1901, a group of Portsmouth citizens established the Portsmouth Country Club. They bought a piece of farmland and hired Scottish-born Alex Findlay to build them a nine-hole golf course. The course was built and ready for play in five weeks; thirty-two years later nine more holes were added.
In the 1950s the U.S. Government decided to build a bomber base alongside the course, and the Club was forced to find a new location (which turned out to be less than a mile to the southwest, on the shoreline of Great Bay). The original course is now the Pease Golf Course, located next to the Portsmouth Intl Airport at Pease.
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.
