Trinity Forest
Trinity Forest Golf Club: located a short drive from the centre of Dallas, and surrounded by thick forest to the north of the Trinity River, Coore-Crenshaw's design was created explicitly to attract prestigious golf championships back to Dallas. This it did. Opening in 2016, the course hosted the PGA Tour in 2018 and 2019.
Occupying a small and curiously open section of the Great Trinity Forest, the classic links-style layout effortlessly meanders through an open meadow of rolling sandy terrain. Its openness and styling reflects the windswept courses of Britain & Ireland or those of the northeastern United States.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Built specifically for top-level tournament play as well as for the enjoyment of its members, Trinity Forest briefly became home to the PGA Tour's Byron Nelson Classic in 2018 and 2019. The 2020 event was cancelled due to the world coronavirus pandemic (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Trinity Forest).
Trinity Forest is the home course of the collegiate golfers of Southern Methodist University (SMU), known as the "The Mustangs".
Texas's 9th best course (Golf Digest, 2025/26).
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.
