The Sundberg family, owners of the Royal Golf Club, commissioned Ron Kirby to set out their golf course in 2008.
The Sundberg family, owners of the Royal Golf Club, commissioned Ron Kirby to set out their golf course in 2008. Two years later, having incorporated many of the property’s old trees and wetland areas into the routing, the architect delivered a delightful 18-hole layout to the client.
The Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Challenge on the European Challenge Tour was first hosted by the Royal course in 2012 – when the par five closing hole was played as a long par four – with Swede Kristoffer Broberg winning the event by three strokes from nearest challenger Simon Wakefield.
Course architect Ron Kirby kindly provided us with the following comments:
The site for this fine golf course was a target shooting range for many years, so to be able to proceed with the grading the property had to be cleaned by special forces of all buried munitions.
Limits for the proposed elevations had to be strictly obeyed. Shaping of all the features became a very delicate phase during construction so "A Shaper Casey " deserves a lot of praise for blending the course to the site so naturally.
The Royal Golf Club has many tee positions and I feel very strongly that this allows players of all categories to play the length of course that lets them enjoy a fun game of golf whilst still experiencing this super, challenging layout.
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.
