Sleepy Hollow Country Club: located an hour's drive from Manhattan, and just a few hundred yards from the east bank of the Hudson River, Sleepy Hollow is home to a revered Charles Blair Macdonald layout. Complementing the quality of the course is the Club's stunning Woodlea Clubhouse. This three-storey palatial mansion began as one of several opulent stately homes built for the Vanderbilt family at the turn of the 20th century.
This private club, exclusively for the use of its members and their invited guests, was founded by a board of directors that included John Jacob Astor IV, Cornelius Vanderbilt III, Edward Julius Berwind, and others. The undulating and relatively open parkland golf course that the father of American golf course architecture designed for them is rather dazzling too!
Private club; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Sleepy Hollow Country Club has staged many top level events over the years. For several years between 1986 and 1993 the club's Upper course hosted the Senior PGA Tour's "Commemorative" tournament, and in 2002 staged the US Women's Amateur Championship (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Sleepy Hollow CC).
New York state's 10th best course (Golf Digest, 2025/26).
USA's 52nd best course (Golf Digest, 2025/26).
World's 70th best course (GOLF Magazine, 2023/24).
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.
