Skjoldnæsholm Golf

Skjoldnæsholm Golf Club's Old Course sits in the countryside near Jystrup on the Danish island of Sjælland, roughly an hour southwest of Copenhagen. The course represents a collaboration between American architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and Danish designer Otto Bojesen, blending international design sensibilities with local landscape character. The property occupies rolling terrain typical of the region, with mature woodland framing many holes and natural elevation changes that provide both strategic interest and scenic variety throughout the round. The routing takes advantage of the site's topography, moving through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors. Water features appear on several holes, adding tactical considerations to club selection and approach strategy. The design incorporates Jones's characteristic emphasis on risk-reward opportunities and visual clarity from the tee, while Bojesen's involvement likely ensured the course reflects Danish golfing traditions and suits the local climate and turf conditions. Skjoldnæsholm operates as a members' club with guest access, serving the regional golfing community in Sjælland. The facility includes multiple courses, with the Old Course functioning as the original and primary championship layout. The course provides a solid test for accomplished players while remaining accessible to members of varying abilities, a balance typical of European club courses designed in the late twentieth century.
