Borre

Tommy Nordström is credited with the layout of the modern day Borre course in 1991 but his design underwent a major makeover in 2005 when nine new holes were added to form “New Borre” with nine holes of the original course becoming “Gamle Back-Nine” – the Old Back Nine course.

The new 6,891-yard par 72 course is set in a gently undulating park and forest landscape around the Semb Manor House beside Lake Borre – and the halfway house at the 10th tee is a great place to stop and take in all the beautiful surrounding scenery.

There’s a fine stretch of par four holes from the 5th to the 7th beside the lake. Hole 5 “Fergemannen” plays from an elevated tee with water threatening the drive on the left all the way to an island green with a very narrow entrance. Hole 6 “Borrevannet” only measures 325 yards and has water 60 yards in front of the green to catch any underclubbed approach shots. Hole 7 “Sandodden” is a slight right dog leg to a raised green with a protecting bunker on the front right hand side.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
