In the late 1890s a native New Yorker and successful businessman, Charles Campbell Worthington, took up summer residence in the village of Shawnee, alongside the Delaware River. In the early 1900s, he began to implement plans for building his dream, an exclusive resort hotel.
As the hotel grew in size and reputation, its single most remarkable attraction was the golf course constructed on Shawnee Island, and designed by the great A.W. Tillinghast. In 1938 the course played host to the US PGA Championship, in which Paul Runyan prevailed over Sam Snead by a score of 8 & 7.

Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25).

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.
