Looking to play the best golf courses in Denmark? GolfReviewsGuide.com picks out the top courses to play in Denmark.
Denmark has emerged as an increasingly appealing golf destination, offering a diverse array of over 200 golf courses including seaside, parkland and challenging forest courses.
Year-round golfing opportunities await in the country with many courses remaining playable even during colder months.
The popularity of Thomas Bjorn and Thorbjorn Olesen and the emergence of the likes of Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard has helped Denmark grow as a golfing destination.
We have narrowed down our best golf courses in Denmark to five must-play venues.
The Scandinavian Golf Club
The Scandinavian Golf Club offers two world-class 18-hole courses designed by Robert Trent Jones II just 25 minutes north of Copenhagen.
The Old Course and New Course are both par 72 layouts set within 200 hectares of lush forest landscape north of the capital.
The Old Course in particular is known for its dramatic elevation changes and risk-reward options, while both course feature streams and natural ponds woven throughout.
The Scandinavian regularly ranks among the top 50 courses in Continental Europe and ranks as our choice for Denmark’s premier golfing destinations.
Lubker Golf Resort
Situated near Aarhus in eastern Jutland, Lubker Golf Resort is home to a 27-hole championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones II.
Lubker has hosted several professional tournaments, including events on the Nordic Golf League, and took over as host of the Danish Golf Championship on the DP World Tour in 2024.
The three 9-hole loops – Sky, Sand and Forest – can be combined to create different 18-hole configurations, all playing to a par of 72.
The Sky course offers panoramic views, while the Sand course incorporates links-style elements. The Forest course winds, meanwhile, through mature woodlands.
Standout holes include the par 3 8th on the Sky course, with its island green, and the risk-reward par 5 9th on the Sand course.
With its varied terrain, strategic bunkering, and immaculate conditioning, it provides a stern test for skilled players while remaining enjoyable for golfers of all levels.
Great Northern
Great Northern is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design that opened in 2017 near Kerteminde on the island of Funen.
This par 72 championship course stretches to 7,300 yards from the back tees and features wide fairways, strategic bunkering, large undulating greens and incorporates natural elements like lakes and streams.
Standout holes include the par 3 17th, playing over water to a well-guarded green, and the risk-reward par 5 18th with its island fairway.
Great Northern has quickly gained recognition as one of Denmark’s top courses, hosting the Made in Denmark tournament on the DP World Tour in 2018.
Esbjerg Golf Club
Established in 1921, Esbjerg Golf Club is one of Denmark’s oldest and most prestigious clubs.
Located near the west coast of Jutland, it features two 18-hole courses – Marbæk (par 72) and Myrtue (par 71).
The Marbaek course, designed by Frederik Dreyer in 1975, is known for its challenging layout through mature pine forests.
The Myrtue course, an addition completed in 2007 by designer Henrik Jacobsen, offers a more open, links-style experience with views of the North Sea.
Esbjerg has hosted numerous national championships and is renowned for its excellent year-round playing conditions despite its coastal location.
Simon’s Golf Club
Simon’s Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course designed by Martin Hawtree, located in Kvistgard, north of Copenhagen.
This par 72 layout opened in 1993 and quickly established itself as one of Denmark’s premier courses with a unique parkland front nine and a more open, links-style back nine.
Water hazards come into play on several holes, most notably on the par 3 17th with its island green. The par 5 18th, with its narrow fairway and well-protected green, provides a challenging finish.
Simon’s has hosted several professional tournaments, including events on the European Challenge Tour.
