Laesø Seaside

Laesø is the largest island in the area of Kattegat off the Jutland peninsula and a ferry service operates the 12-mile route between Frederiskavn on the Danish mainland and the port of Vesterø Havn.

Laeso, along with the island of Anholt, is sometimes referred to as “the Danish sand belt,” but the terrain is more lichen heath than desert sand owing to the deforestation that took place many years ago.

Course architect Henrik Jacobsen laid out the 18-hole course on the island of Samsø just three years before he created Laeso Seaside so his Danish design skills had been finely honed before tackling the crisp, springy turf here.

The course lies to the north east of the island – where half timbered houses thatched with seawood lie along the coast – and holes are routed on either side of the road that leads to the clubhouse (3 to 8, 16 and 17 to the south).

Tree-lined fairways are generally tight and many of them (the 7th in particular) are doglegged with small inland lakes to negotiate so many golfers keep the driver in the bag when playing at Laesø.

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.
