Noordwijkse
This is a classic in as far as links courses are concerned. Every single hole in this course winds down to the dunes and at times into the pine woods.
PGA Catalunya

Real Valderrama
This golf course has been a heartthrob for so many players owing to its popularity in a number of golf tournaments that have since been held live on TV.
Les Bordes

Chantilly
This course takes after the common folklore in France about the prettiness of Chantilly, and is a sight to behold
