Preview rounds at the Keep, a new 18-hole course at McLemore, are available now, ahead of an official opening in the summer of 2025.
“This will be a must-play course when it opens next year,” says Alexandra O’Laughlin of the new club being developed outside Denver by brothers Michael and Chris Keiser. “The land is made for a golf lover, with the dunes creating endless shot possibilities.”
Timing is everything, and Marine & Lawn’s sixth hotel—the Portrush Adelphi —is due to open in February 2025, five months ahead of the Open’s return to Royal Portrush.
Granite Pointe Golf Course, which originally opened in 1920, is being reimagined as part of a $500 million master-planned community in the Kootenay Rockies, called Hallō Nelson. Doug Carrick is designing the new 18-hole layout, the Dodger, with construction starting in 2025.
“We took our first Regent Seven Seas cruise this past summer and absolutely had a blast as a family,” says Annika Sörenstam. “On a cruise in 2025, I will host golf excursions at some of the UK’s most famous courses.” Departing from Southampton on July 23, the 14-night, Sörenstam-hosted Spotlight Voyage will present the opportunity to play six golf courses, including Ailsa at Turnberry in Scotland and Royal Lytham & St. Annes in England.
The famous Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course in Vilamoura, on Portugal’s Algarve coast, is an Arnold Palmer design going through an update by Ernie Els. “The layout was good before, so I am really looking forward to playing it once it’s complete,” says Scott Cranfield. The golf course is attached to the newly renovated Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort, so there is a lot to look forward to here.
The Tom Doak–designed Old Petty course at Cabot Highlands is due to open in September 2025. This will be the second 18-hole route at Cabot Highlands, after the acclaimed Castle Stuart Links, which was created by Mark Parsinen and Gil Hanse. Old Petty represents the course the late Parsinen—the founder of Castle Stuart—always wanted to build, and it will elevate Cabot Highlands into an awe-inspiring golf landscape. Hemmed by the Moray Firth one way and the Highlands the other, Old Petty hugs a tidal estuary and brings golfers closer to the 400-year-old castle than its sister course does. It also runs alongside Old Petty Church, which is modern by Castle Stuart standards, built in 1839. As at all of the finest Highlands retreats, visitors here enjoy a true sense of escape, and it is no exaggeration that Cabot Highlands is primed to sit among the very finest 36-hole destinations in Britain.
The resort previously known as Sandals Emerald Bay—complete with a spectacular Greg Norman championship course—is set to become one of the world’s ultimate golf-and-family destinations when it reopens as Beaches Exuma in 2025.
The Old Dane nine-holer in Dakota City is being reworked under the close eye of architect Trevor Dormer, who is converting the course into 12 holes, with options to play six-, nine-, or 12-hole rounds. Old Dane is owned by the Andersen family, who converted nearby farmland into a modern masterpiece, Landmand Golf Club.
