Dormie Collection
Bucket List Golf Courses
Some courses deserve more than a package deal. They deserve a story.
There are golf courses you play, and there are golf courses that change the way you think about the game. Leopard Creek, where your wayward drive might share rough with a hippopotamus. Monte Rei, where the Atlantic light turns every hole golden at 6pm. Paradis in Mauritius, where the Indian Ocean serves as your backdrop from the first tee. These are the rounds you'll describe to your grandchildren.
Why this collection
Leopard Creek — Africa's greatest course
Bordering Kruger National Park, Leopard Creek is so extraordinary that it operates a strict access policy. We are able to secure tee times that are simply unavailable to individuals booking directly.
Monte Rei — Portugal's finest
Jack Nicklaus's only Portuguese design. One of only two Nicklaus Signature courses in Europe. Limited to 50 rounds per day. Routinely ranked the best course in Portugal and among the top 50 in Europe.

Common questions
FAQs
How far in advance do bucket list tee times need to be booked?
For peak season at Leopard Creek or Monte Rei, we recommend booking 6–9 months in advance. We have relationships with the tee sheet teams and occasionally have access to slots that aren't publicly available.
Are these holidays just for low handicappers?
Not at all. Bucket list courses are about the experience as much as the score. These courses are as extraordinary to a 28-handicapper as to a scratch player — more so, arguably, because you're playing purely for the memory rather than the card.
