Golf in Denmark
Including Esbjerg Golfklub, Guldborgsund Golf Club, and Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort. On the map.
The vibe
Golfing in this country is a relaxed, egalitarian pursuit played across windswept links that feel integrated into the natural coastal dunes. The season stretches from spring through autumn, making the most of the long daylight hours that allow for late-evening rounds. It is a welcoming, visitor-friendly environment where the culture is focused on the game rather than exclusivity, and you can easily book a tee time as a guest.
