The Scandinavian Denmarks no1 Golf Club

The Ultimate Review For Average Golfers

We absolutely love everything about the great game of golf. However, we definitely did not love losing nineteen golf balls in a single round! But even while we were constantly digging through the thick trees looking for our missing balls, we literally could not stop smiling. My amazing wife Hildur and I recently escaped the terrible weather in Iceland to experience The Scandinavian Golf Club. We are two regular golfers in our fifties who love sharing honest golf course reviews for average players. We just had one of the best golf days of our entire lives just forty minutes outside of Copenhagen.

If you are planning a luxury Copenhagen golf trip or looking for the absolute best golf courses in Scandinavia, grab a cup of coffee. Let us tell you exactly why The Scandinavian Golf Club is consistently ranked as Denmark's number one golf course and how you can actually survive it!

The Most Beautiful Golf Clubhouse in the World

From the very second you arrive at The Scandinavian, you feel like you are playing in a professional tour event. The stunning clubhouse was masterfully designed by Henning Larsen Architects. Local Danish golfers will proudly tell you that this is the most beautiful golf clubhouse in the world, and they are completely right. It perfectly blends gorgeous modern Scandinavian design with the surrounding pristine nature.

The world class staff greeted us with warm smiles and handed us everything we could possibly need for a spectacular round. We received beautiful custom bag tags with our names engraved on them and complimentary tees. But the absolute highlight before teeing off was the unbelievable practice area. You get unlimited Pro V1 range balls stacked perfectly into beautiful pyramids! If you want to get the most value out of your premium green fee at The Scandinavian, you absolutely must show up early to fully enjoy one of the greatest practice facilities you will ever see in your life.

Surviving The Robert Trent Jones New Course

The Scandinavian features two incredible layouts. We tackled the highly rated New Course designed by the brilliant Robert Trent Jones. This golf course is an absolute masterpiece built on old military grounds with fascinating hidden history buried deep in the beautiful forests. It is fully geo certified for sustainability and features world class drainage that can handle massive amounts of rain while remaining perfectly playable.
Let us be completely honest with you. The Robert Trent Jones New Course is spectacularly beautiful, but it does not pull any punches for average golfers. The fairways are extremely narrow, the ancient trees are literally everywhere, and the undulating greens are lightning fast. We had the genuine pleasure of being paired with a wonderful British gentleman, and we definitely owe him a massive apology for how terribly we played! Every single shot requires intense focus. I kept telling myself to swing slow and easy, but somehow we still managed to lose a grand total of nineteen golf balls. The magnificent finishing eighteenth hole features a beautiful roaring waterfall specifically designed to block out any clubhouse noises, which is incredibly clever and breathtaking.

Our Final Verdict and Honest Advice for Average Golfers

The Scandinavian Golf Club is a perfect ten out of ten and officially our favorite luxury golf vacation in Northern Europe. If we could do this entire Denmark golf trip differently, we would absolutely attend a short game bootcamp before arriving! Furthermore we highly recommend that average golfers buy nice but much cheaper golf balls for this challenging layout. We also strongly advise against hitting your driver on every single tight hole.

If you have the time and budget, you should turn this into a full four day golf heaven experience. Spend day one surviving the trees, day two learning the layout, and by day four you will finally feel confident! For us, golf is the absolute best couples sport in the world. You do not stop having fun because you are getting old. You get old because you stop having fun!
