The picturesque Danish town of Vejle lies on the southeast coast of the Jutland peninsula and a few miles outside the town, on the forested southern flank of the Vejle Fjord, sits a modern golf complex consisting of three 9-hole courses, a driving range and a par 3 course. The golf club was formed in 1970 and, from very humble origins, their initial course expanded from just a couple of holes to eleven holes then finally a full 18-hole course by 1977. Fifteen years later, a further nine holes were added to complete the set-up so now the members are in the fortunate position of having three courses to play by mixing the three 9-hole layouts. The three nines were originally colour coded, Red, Yellow and Blue, but each loop has now been renamed to; Parken (Park), Skoven (Forest) and Sletten (Plain). The Forest loop is the shortest but most dramatic, featuring significant elevation changes, rivers and streams. The Park nine is tight and tree-lined, while the Plain nine more open in aspect, relying on bold bunkering. Vejle Golf Club completed a comprehensive renovation during 2010-2012 under the design and supervision of Danish architect Philip Spogárd. 18 greens and greens complexes were changed to create a much-improved playing experience. All bunkers were redesigned and repositioned and 13 tees were renovated. |
Reviews for Vejle (Parken & Skoven)
Vejle is a very beautiful course, I had the pleasure to play Parken and Skoven, for the first nine I was accompanied by an older couple which definitely helped as they were very good at giving me advice and explaining how it would be best to approach the holes. the first nine were very nice, but it was not until the back nine (Skoven) that it really started getting beautiful and of course hilly. Skoven is a course that should be played conservatively it's probably best not to rip a driver on every single hole, although some of the holes are driveable, all in all, it's a great course, fun and exciting. but definitely not as well groomed as the very top courses in Denmark.
