Anahita the Resort

Mauritius is a small island nation that sits a little over 1100 kilometers to the east of Madagascar.

The resort features two championship courses that overlook the Indian Ocean – one designed by South African Ernie Els and the other designed by German Bernhard Langer.

Bandon Dunes

The story of how arguably the world’s top golf resort came to be, is a good one. Mike Keiser, an entrepreneur who made his money printing gift cards on recycled paper, fell in love with golf and, in particular, links golf. Instead of just playing top courses at private clubs around the world he felt the need to create his own brilliant layouts – but a key motivating factor was to keep the courses open to the public. It’s an everyman sentiment that’s sometimes at odds with the exclusive …

South Cape Owners Club

South Korean golf journalist Hwa Young Nam rated this the best resort in the country, and it is a most impressive development. The course was built as an exclusive club for owners of 130 sea villas, but it is open to guests of the South Cape Spa & Suite. This luxury boutique hotel has 49 suites along the shoreline and 10 cliff houses facing the ocean, and subsequently the views of the coastline are outstanding. Billing itself as “the world’s most artistic healing place”, this resort aims to give you a peaceful break away from the usual noise of the world.

New Zealand offers so many beautiful locations to visit and this, I can confidently say, is one of its jewels. Set on luxurious farmland overlooking Hawke’s Bay on the North Island, Cape Kidnappers offers an unforgettable luxury golf experience, especially for couples.
Renowned American golf architect Tom Doak embraced the rugged coastal features to provide a true challenge for both the amateur and professional golfer. Immaculately groomed fairways lay between deep ravines and bluffs. From the air, the fairways look like long green fingers that extend right to the edge of 140-meter (460-foot) cliffs above the Pacific on the back nine…

Cape Wickham Links

When it comes to finding the perfect spot to create a links course, you might have to go roam to unfrequented territory. That is just what Australian developer Duncan Andrews has done with Cape Wickham Links, which can be found on the north-west coast of King Island in Bass Strait. The remote patch of land sits between Victoria and Tasmania, exposed to the famous ‘Roaring Forties’ trade winds that blow hard from the west that sailing ships once harnessed. Australian golf writer Darius Oliver spotted the dramatic stretch of Australian coastline and immediately knew the potential of the site. He convinced Andrews to build a world-class course there. Andrews brought in American architect Mike DeVries, who with Oliver, designed the course in 2015…

Cameron House on Loch Lomond / The Carrick

The Cameron Club’s championship golf course, The Carrick, overlooks Loch Lomond in one of Scotland’s most scenic regions, The Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park in the central part of the country. The course opened in 2007. Canadian architect Douglas Carrick designed a layout that works its way through the lowlands in the front nine, with trees lining the fairway and some holes playing adjacent to the lake or streams. After the 437-yard/400-meter, par-4 ninth, you can enjoy some food and drinks at the Highland Laddie, a halfway house that was once a London River Thames boat. You just need to order ahead…
