Silkeborg Golf Club established in 1966, with an 18-hole course. In 2007, 9 holes was added to the course, however this layout didn't seem to be enough to meet the demand and they took over operation of a 27-hole course in 2014 and was located outside the tiny town of Ry which is located 16 km away from the original course.
Since then, the club has improved it to very high quality with a layout which is safe and enjoyable for players of all levels. The fairways and semi-rough areas have been significantly expanded and rough has been shaved so that the golf course is enjoyable to play. The some greens' entrances were increased to provide more easy access to the putting surface.
Do not expect a warm "handshake" opener the first hole is a huge 523-metre par five, which is rated by stroke index one. Beware of the tough 5th hole, a par four which has a pond in the middle of the dogleg when the fairway slants right to the green. There are similar hazards in the water to avoid on the remaining two holes.
The back nine begins with a solid par five that measures all of 521m off the back of the tees. It is with a stroke index of 2. The 15th hole is a short par four. hole is a good chance for birdies, if the sand cliff that surrounds the green is kept out of. A round played on the 18 holes of Ry ends with a long par three that plays to a huge and lightly contoured home green.
Europe Challenge Tour's Made in Denmark tournament was held here in the year 2019 in which Austria's BerndWeisberger held off a spirited final round challenge by Scottish's Robert McIntyre to win the event by one shot.
