You find yourself in the Lake of Geneva region, and you have a day off. You want to spend it sort of leisurely but still have a very good day of golf. The Montreux golf c...
A very pleasant day in the hills chasing the white ball: this is probably the impression the Lavaux golf course will leave on the first time visitor. There is nothing ext...
At 5,576 meters from the back (white) tees, this course is definitely not trying to compete in the “monster” category and it will probably never attract professionals, al...
This is one unique golf course design: how about a links course reviewed and completed with a woman’s eye? One that includes a Japanese tea garden and house behind the 17...
Murhof is the oldest golf course of Styria (Steiermark in German), the southeastern region of Austria. It is set in an unlikely place: whether you drive from Vienna or Gr...
Schloss Schönborn may be “just” a classic parkland course, but it has to be one of the classiest ones around, and the whole day there was such an experience I rate this g...

Almost 6,500 meters from the back tees, this course may be flat but it is no joke… even less so for the golfers starting from any tees forward! In fact, the club has 6 se...

Looking at the scorecard, it seems that Cabopino could be a benign course, with a total length of « only » 5,193 meters from the back tees. In fact, there are only three...
This course is often presented as the longest course in Switzerland from the championship tees with a total length of 6637 meters. Even from the yellow tees it is a respe...
The golf course at Andermatt opened in 2016, and we went to play it in August 2017. We were expecting a course “in training” with its major features still in the future....
This course is a very pleasant walk and still quite a good test of golf.
The Ballesteros course of Crans-sur-Sierre (also known as Crans-Montana) has been the locale of...
When I told a friend I was going to play the North course at Halmstad, he said: « Be very careful, it is a forest course so make sure you take many balls with you! » In f...
Is the Ljunghusen golf course (1-18) a true links, or a maritime heathland course? I will let the debaters argue on. I simply had quite an experience at this golf club an...
Falsterbo and its surrounding area have long been a summer vacation spot for Swedes. This explains why the golf club was founded in 1909, and is the third oldest of the c...
Vasatorps Golfklubb’s Tournament course is a pretty unusual design, and several times during my round did I stop and wondered about the solutions the architects used to m...
Going to play a Jack Nicklaus course for the first time, one always has (or should have) high expectations. Mr. Nicklaus is known for his well-entrenched rules of golf co...
