Bluffs, Grand Ho Tram
The Bluffs, Grand Ho Tram (formerly known as The Bluffs, Ho Tram Strip): this top-rated seaside links course is laid out in a natural duneland area of "links land" between the sea's edge (a couple of hundred yards away to the east. A large area of wooded hinterland lies to the west. Alongside The Bluffs course, sits the Grand Ho Tram hotel and casino resort.
Facing out onto the South China Sea, and almost but never quite beachside, Greg Norman's pure links design has won many plaudits. The ever-present rugged sandhills stand in sharp contrast to the green flowing lines of this rolling rollicking layout.
True to great links golf, water plays very little part in proceedings, apart that is from the East Vietnam Sea ... a scenic backdrop to many holes. Also making their presence felt, are good-width undulating fairways, beyond which lies a mix of exposed and partly bush-covered sand dunes. Further linksy reminders come from the square-cut tee-boxes, threatening bunkers and a fabulous collection of par-3s. Thankfully, there's very little if any real estate to be seen.

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.
