It has taken me a long time to decide what I felt about this course. on the one hand I didn't come in and thought, wow, what an amazing experience. On the other hand, I have repeatetly told people that I have played it and what I thought about it. What I keep telling is the uniqueness and the wind. The uniqueness is playing amongst the heather. I have not seen this anywhere else and it is so well integrated. The wind was just crazy. Even for locals, I chose to play on a windy day! so I had my fair share of challenges controlling the balls. It is not as such a memorable course - in fact I have trouble putting my fingers on fantastic holes, but you leave with an impression of puzzleness; as you probably would have wafter seeing a Modern Painting at an art galary. You like it, but just cannot tell why!

First of all, a big shout out to the friendly and quick responding staff when changing reservations due to COVID. Always helpful. If you ever wanted to test your driving skills and fairway woods, this is your change. What a tremendously long course. Fair to say, that they did warn about this prior to starting with real warning signs. I did not (and still don't) have the skills playing the back tee - few people does I guess. Playing in the late (and wet) fall, I expected greens to be welcoming my pitch shots. Nope, hard well rolling greens chewed by ball and gladly spit it out again on the back of those greens if I just gave it the chance. Greens were in perfect conditions, especially considering the time of year. I would be afraid of them during the summer time!Be sure to have a good look at the course map, because those fairway "bunkers" are longer than you would think. It is more or less a full beach for swans or its like to enjoy nature. I personally enjoyed this feature, but at some point it had me wonder whether I could drop out of the lake because that same lake/water was in my "bunker"! Hole 16 is just crazy long, 17 is a wonderful par 3 and 18 is iconic with the round bunkers in the back. Either you come home smiling after playing those 3 holes or you do like me, trying to remember why I love this game! I understand why the PROs come here. there is a challenge for everyone.

I have for 2 decades been coming to Paris to visit Family. If I found time I would take a few of the courses nearby. I never realized this pearl was only 20minutes away. HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS ONE.... Well, Ryder Cup made sure that it came top of mind and a destination to visit. After having watched the Ryder Cup live, I knew that one day I had to return and play this course. And so I did. it was everything I dreamt of (except a few heavy rainshowers!).This course has some of the most difficult rough I have tried. Keep it in the fairway. One could say, this should always be there case! but even a 100m shot into the rough can make you take the walk of shame, back to where you were making you hit a new ball because the rough somehow magically swalled your golfball!!Hole 1 is just epic. Having watched all the ryder cup players tee off, you feel the pressure on the first tee. The second shot is complicated onto that green. Hole 2 is just as wonderful as it looks. If no one is behind you, make sure to take another shot just to see whether you can go for the pin (because on the first shot, you just want to be safe!)Not gonna walk you through all the holes, but you will find PLENTY of challenges on this course. Hole 18 will either reward you generously or give a significant pump to the scores (unfortunately upwards). Staff was super friendly and Novotel stay is a no-brainer as it is right on the golf course. pay attention to special combi-deal with novotel.

As part of a stint to Paris to play golf (12h drive), we had this one eyed out. I personally love the area of fontainebleau. it is calm, and have so many gems. I never realized how close the golf-course is to the city. With the elevated greenfee, we found ourself some affordable accommodation less than 10min from the course. When arrive at the parking lot, you are not overwhelmed in any way, but there short walk towards the clubhouse takes your mind to a different century. What a wonderful club-house. It is not fancy in anyway, just fumes history. The locker-rooms are just epic in its own way. Hole 1 just sets the scene, with boulders on the back and the tall pines it is an indication of something special is on its way. Hole 3 has a magnificant view but is more or less the only real elevation (a little bit on the back 9 also). A fairly flat course. We had some real bad rainshowers with clear sky to follow. Most golf course would have drowned and hole 9 also had some water on it, immediately following a pour of rain. But besides that, the course drained tremendously fast. It must be the sandy ground. We were fortunate to play with a local, whom honestly was about to quite after 9 holes due to the rain. But he thought if were crazy enough to play through all 18, he would follow us :) We all enjoyed the back 9 with smiles on our faces (and of course a few cursing, after all it is golf and its frustrational impact on our minds! :D)Don't sit this one out - a magnificant play to play.

A was outright lucky, I played in very little wind and with a clear sky. I was (in my own view) fortunate enough to play with some locals. Friendly staff got me set-up with a golf-clubs and I took off with the old chaps. After realizing that my French was good enough to have a decent conversation and having a few good drives eased the athomsphere and we had a blast moving around the golf course. I played right after the Challenge tour had a go at it. it was in really good condition. Stay out of the rough, it was brutal and I had a fair consumption of golfballs on that day. However that didn't stop me from having a fantastic experience. If this is your first time at the golf course, you have to study hole 10 before hitting your shot. if you have time, I would even recommend you to go have a look before the round. A par 4 in disguise. a Blind downhill shot. hole 11 is just, Wow. Make your (mandatory) way up to the back-tee and bring your phone/camera. What a stunning view. besides the magnificent view on hole 11, just, please, stay out of the rough!

Let me first say that this course is really a marvellous place.It's environment is on the posh side. One thing I never really understood is the lack of investment in the training and driving range facilities when you have such a beautiful golf course and willingness to invest in it. The course is a pearl. Alone the bunkers are perfectly drained (played the day after 30mm of rain). Greens where large and tough. Honestly the breaks they would take sometimes were just nuts. I expected a lot playing here. And it mostly lived up to my expectations. Only thing is that the scenery was less pretty compared to what I would have thought. Don't miss the opportunity to play here if you have it.

I have had the pleasure to go to Martinique a few times. Two of those times I have played golf. Once was in 2001 and the other one 2018. What a difference. The first time around was one of my first rounds abroad. it was an amazing experience. But now (2018), just a sad place. I couldn't tell for now when writing the review in 2021, but certainly not recommendable. It looks like a place that was maintained like a mistreated dog. Not sure what has happened. If I should give it thumbs up for something, it is the scenery. beautiful views.

Upon arrival to this place, you know are are at a special place. Of course I was expecting a lot. I specifically made a 5h drive to come to this golf course. I always wanted to play and with the recent focus, having the European tour passing this club, I just had to try. And I can only say, it did not disappoint. The setting with spa and housing connected to the course made it easy to bring my wife for an overnight stay. Not a hard convince (non-golfing wife!). the Golf course was in impeccable shape when I visited. Challenged by the greens, the hills and the wind made it a troublesome day at the course looking at the scoring. But, it also made it really fun. The ending with hole 18 doing nothing but punish you if you are not hitting your driver where you want it as well as the approach. Also the icon Himmerland Hill par 3 is magnificant. I was lucky enough to walk away with a par, celebrating it like a hole in one! It is far away from most things, but certainly worth the drive.

Ledreborg Palace golfing experience is exactly that, an experience. The scenery driving to the golf course is getting you into the mood. Not because the golf course sits in the woods, but because it makes you feel like you are leaving civilization. And that is exactly how you feel it on the course. The course is spread on an immense amount of land making you feel like alone on the course. There is very little FORE on this course. As it is built in a national park, little ammentments could be made in terms of moving dirt. It means that Nick Faldo design had to do an amazing job figuring out how to lay out the holes directly into the landscape. And they did exactly this. You have a good deal of walk between holes some places, but worth it without a doubt. I have had the opportunity to play this course twice. Once where they couldn't role the screens (machine broke down) and once where they had. The latter gave them extremely fast greens. The fastest I have tried in Denmark. it was fun, but also super difficult. Greens are not easy slow or fast. Fun to play. It is really a gem in my eyes. A hint, don't go and try to defeat the rough, you will loose. It can look like an easy shot out, but can certainly cost you a few punches before you are again on the fairway! Enjoy a good Carlsberg beer in the clubhouse terrase once the round is over. it is only a few meters walk down from 18th tee. Great design.

Arriving at the clubhouse without any equipment what so ever (well, brought a glove from home!), they quickly had me set up with equipment, balls,... etc. I felt welcome from the start. This golf course has a spectacular view as it sits up on the mountain side. Now, I played a round in good heat alone. There are some beautiful holes, in between. Unfortunately there has been a good time lapse between the review and the actual round. however I do remember it as a good experience, although bunkers were disappointing low quality. One thing is the specific (lava?) sand, but they were just rock hard and not really playable (2019) in my view. I would surely recommend going here without a doubt. - don't forget sunscreen :)

ROYAL is a fairly new club. Not many courses are so well placed living in the center of Copenhagen. Taking the metro to a golf course is somehow unique. Especially considering that when playing the course you don't feel to be in/near the city, except for a few towers placement close by. Especially the BELLA SKY hotel is noticible. It is however built in a unique style and you come to appreciate it. On arrival, you notice the signs of the golden age for golf clubs. It had a VIP access on the parking, today just grocely managed by a rigid parking company hiding in the bushes to fine you! Now, if you just remember to pay your parking, you will have a blast at this golf course. The driving range is well, but a bit worn down already. A shame, given it is not that old. Somehow, it is also built a good way away from the starting tee. Never really understood that. But hey, fascilities are good there. Don't use the chipping green near the driving range as the one near the clubhouse is the real deal.The clubhouse seems to have been built for business. Stylish, but no real charm. A shame for such a great golf course. It is fair to say that you need to bring your A-game to conquer this golf course. It is narrow, greens a tough (holds the line beautifully) and the hazard areas are MANY. There have been ammentments over time to make it more playable, but it is in fact difficult. It is in GREAT condition. You will need to keep focus as the greens and hazards will steal your shots quicker than you can count them. I mistakenly (and so did my Garmin watch) consider the big wasteland before the greens as water :D Just for your info; it is longer than you think, don't try and hit the green if you are not in a good position! The par 3 hole 4, I probably would have been better off just playing with the putter. It seemed easy, but still tricky. hole 17 is a great driver challenge. if you are passing the back-tee and with no pressure from behind. Stop and try and pass the water with a trial shot - you need lenght and control to end up in a good spot. Loved the challenge (my ball not so much, as it got a little wet!). Hole 9 and 18 towards the clubhouse are also nice settings. Don't cheat yourself for a round at this course. It is obviously pricy compared to any other courses in Denmark but worth the go. Don't loose confidence in your game after playing here - it has certainly stolen a lot of strokes from even good players.

As a national, I am very familiar with golf courses around Denmark. Since the construction of this golf course, I wanted to give it a go. In spring 2020 I had the opportunity to do a good deal of practice during the COVID lockdown. it gave me enough confidence and willingness to take on GREAT NORTHERN. After a good days work in the summer, I packed the car with a friend and our golf clubs to seek out this mythical golf course. Yes, only after a few years, it is already mythical. I guess mostly because of the insane amounts of cash spent to build this astonishing place. With the light in the evening, you can easily put in golfrounds after work. And may I say, it was worth the 1,5h drive after work to play. Wow. What a place. The mere welcome was great. They were ready for us. For a (seemingly very) high end place, you felt welcomed like you were a member. Even after the round, more on that later. The golf course it self is built smart. the clubshouse sits down where as the golfcourse rises in the horizon. Somehow the first tee looks a bit pale and bare competing with the club house and the putting green. However once you get away from the club house the tee places looks just as they should and blends in perfectly. This course will challenge you to the teeth. It is not unreasonable but you are asked to consider where you hit the ball. Course management is high on the agenda.As you walk around, you will notice the small ingraved water collection drains. it all fills to the (artificial) lake and water is reused for the course. Without considering the price tag, it looks amazing and is just brilliant as concept. The condition of the course was impecable. After the round, the concierge (not sure of the title) was kind enough to give a tour of the clubhouse. We were the last guest on the premises. Although it was late and he probably wanted to go home, he made us feel welcome and made sure we had asked all the questions we wanted. A coffee to-go before the drive home was a natural part of his offer to us, just ensuring that the departure became just as perfect as the arrival. It is the small things.So when you visit this place, make sure you take your time before and after to get to know the place. So many details to the course and fascilities. It doesn't have the history of the great golf courses around Europe that are ancient, but this place hopefully lives on for generations to tell tails of great games and tournaments.Lastly, make sure you also visit down town Kerteminde, especially in the summer. Cozy. Enjoy!

I have been to St. Kitts many times, but never took the time to play the course until 2018. To be honest, I did regret not having played it before. The Bermuda grass was new (and odd) for me, but I would hold that against the course. I loved the round. It was with a good friend, great weather, great sceneray and greens in good condition. I was not too fund of fairways, but then again, not bad at all. 15th is amazing. ignore the hotel and enjoy the view. Take the time to play if you are on the island.
