Denmark
Golf in Denmark: The southernmost Scandinavian country, Denmark also has the mildest climate. It can sometimes be very wet in this part of the world, receiving enough rain to ensure lush landscapes and thick grass, ideal for the golf courses. Denmark is one of the countries with the lowest green fee in the entire European Union, and offers the perfect golf holiday with over 200 golf courses plus many quality accommodations opportunities in connection to the courses. Denmark boasts both inland and coastal courses, sometimes nestling on the country’s many islands, or again close to seaside resorts. The North and Baltic Seas are never far away. To make the most of your golfing trip, and to help in your planning, you can look up the location of the best courses in Denmark on our customised maps.

After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
