Australia’s latest bucket-list layout, The Cliffs Kangaroo Island, photographed by Jacob Sjöman, features on the cover of the July 2026 issue of Golf Course Architecture. The course was designed by Darius Oliver and built on a rugged landscape a short flight from Adelaide. Our main feature reports on the boom in major golf developments in the UK and Ireland, profiling 18 projects that are either on the drawing board, in progress or opening imminently. We visit the Cashen course at Ballybunion, Ireland, Shura Links in Saudia Arabia, and Interlachen CC in Florida. There’s more too, including an interview with David McLay Kidd and reports on projects in the West African nation of Benin, at Carmel CC in North Carolina, and Augusta Municipal Golf Course, known as ‘The Patch’, in Georgia.
