Quang Binh (Forest Dunes)
FLC Quang Binh Golf Links (Forest Dunes course): The Forest Dunes course and its slightly younger sibling, Ocean Dunes, enjoyed a headstart on many of the world's newest golf developments. And its not just that they were laid out by a prolific master-craftsman, Brian Curley. The two courses extend over the kind of "linksland" terrain on which the game itself was first played.
Occupying a small part of an expansive 70 km coastal duneland strip, the courses are mapped onto a rugged natural sandy landscape. Here you'll find deserted beaches, a deep hinterland of white sand dunes liberally laced with casuarina pine vegetation, occasional lagoons and behind all that, vast areas of exposed windswept dunes.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

FLC's master plan for Quang Binh envisages a development of up to 10 golf courses, several resort hotels and residential areas ... planning applications permitting.
The FLC Group, a large Vietnamese real estate investment and development company, now owns and operates several golf and resort facilities spread along Vietnam's east coast. From north to south, you'll find FLC Ha Long Bay (a luxury resort not too far from Hanoi and Hai Phong), FLC Samson Links (another luxury resort three hours drive south of Hanoi), FLC Quang Binh (an intended mega-resort near Dong Ha on the way down to Da Nang), and FLC Quy Nhon (a beach and golf resort well south of Da Nang).

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.
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.
