Play golf on Funen

If you want to experience some of the finest golf that Denmark and Northern Europe have to offer, you should visit Funen. Here you will find Great Northern, which is one of the absolute premier golf courses in Denmark, located near Kerteminde on the island of Funen. The golf course that opened in 2007 is often recognized for its world-class design, facilities, and natural beauty.

The course was designed by the renowned golf course architect Nicklaus Design. His designs are known for their strategic layouts and attention to both aesthetics and challenge. The championship course is characterized by rolling fairways, large bunkers, and water hazards. It blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, offering panoramic views and natural beauty.

Great Northern is consistently ranked among the top 100 golf courses in Europe and has become one of Denmark's most prestigious courses. The course provides a true test for golfers, with demanding holes that require both precision and power. It's known for being a tough but fair course, rewarding strategic play.

The Great Northern Golf Course is linked to the famous LEGO family. The course was developed and is owned by the Kirk Kristiansen family, the founders and owners of the LEGO Group. The LEGO family's involvement in the project emphasizes their commitment to creating a world-class luxury destination in Denmark. They have invested heavily in ensuring that Great Northern reflects the same high standards of quality and innovation that LEGO is known for. This has helped elevate the course's status not only in Denmark but also across Europe.

In addition to the golf course, Great Northern offers exceptional facilities such as a high-end clubhouse, restaurant, hotel (New hotel will open in spring 2026) and spa, making it not only a golfing destination but also a luxurious getaway. Great Northern is for golfers looking to play a world-class course in a serene setting. You can reach Kerteminde from Copenhagen by bus. Travel time is approximately two hours.
