Myrtue Course
Esbjerg Golfklub
About this course
Esbjerg Golfklub's Myrtue course lies in the southwestern corner of Denmark, serving the port city of Esbjerg and the surrounding South Jutland region. The course was designed through a collaborative effort involving Frederik Dreyer and Henrik J. Jacobsen, with involvement from Holstebro, reflecting a period when Danish golf architecture was developing its own identity distinct from British and American models. The layout occupies relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of Denmark's western coastal plain, where the proximity to the North Sea influences both climate and vegetation. The routing takes advantage of the natural landscape features available in this part of Jutland, incorporating native grasses and vegetation that provide definition and challenge without dramatic elevation changes. Danish courses of this era typically emphasize strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward thoughtful play over pure distance, and Myrtue follows these principles. The wind, a constant factor in coastal Denmark, plays a significant role in how the course presents itself from day to day. Esbjerg Golfklub serves as the primary golf facility for Denmark's fifth-largest city and the surrounding area. The club provides year-round golf when weather permits, typical of Scandinavian clubs that maximize their relatively short season. The course hosts regional competitions and serves both members and visitors exploring golf in southern Denmark, offering a representative example of Danish parkland golf in a region better known for its fishing industry and ferry connections to Britain.

Getting there
The journey to Esbjerg Golfklub begins at Billund Airport - Denmark's second-largest gateway and hub for Scandinavian connections - roughly 50 minutes northeast by car through the gently rolling farmland of southern Jutland. From Billund, the route traces westward through pastoral countryside before meeting the outskirts of Esbjerg, Denmark's principal North Sea port, where the landscape gradually opens to reveal the broader horizons and salt-tinged air of the western coast. The final approach into Esbjerg V leads through quiet residential streets to the club's grounds, where the transition from working harbor city to manicured fairways feels both sudden and serene - a pocket of green calm just inland from one of Denmark's most industrious maritime centers.
