Quang Binh (Ocean Dunes)
FLC Quang Binh Golf Links (Ocean Dunes course): The Ocean Dunes course and its slightly older sibling, Forest 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).

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.
