The Silkeborg course at Silkeborg Ry Golfklub is one of the best championship golf courses in Denmark. Originally an 18-hole layout, this is where renowned European Tour golfer and Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjørn honed his golfing skills as a youngster. The Great Dane, as Bjørn is known, played a key design role in extending the course to its present-day 27 holes.
The original West and South nines, and newer East-nine at Sylkeborg are gently carved out of a pine forest. The layout includes a mix of parkland and heathland habitats, some holes cut through flatter terrain, others considerably more hilly. There are doglegs and straightaways to contend with, and some generous fairways, with others much tighter and more exacting from the tee.
The three loops rotate on a weekly basis, offering an "18-hole course of the week" and a "nine-hole course of the week". Each nine-hole loop provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy.
Also owned and managed by the club is the Kildebjerg-Ry course, which is located 17 km south-east of its grander sibling, just outside the town of Ry.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap on Sylkeborg Ry course 36 (men and women).
