Royal Oak Golf Club is a lovely parkland course, laid out on the shores on Lake Jels in central south Jutland, with some beautiful holes routed along the edge of the water. Opened in 1992, it was created by the architectural team of Jens Malling and Per Gundtoft.
The club takes its name from the "Royal Oak" tree that looms over the fairway on the 12th hole. It was here that King Christian X and Crown Prince Frederik rested their horses during the Royal review at Jelsgard Manor in 1935.
Despite the abundance of trees on the property, the course is quite open and the main obstacles to a good score are the well-positioned bunkers (all 78 of them) and the devious putting surfaces – all greens have been constructed to USGA specification and are renowned for being tricky to putt on.
The two par fives on the front nine are also the two most difficult on the outward half; the 5th hole doglegs left and the 9th is a double doglegged hole. Coming home, the 202-yard, par three, 14th plays tougher than its stroke index would suggest, with three bunkers in front and a pond to the right side of the green.
