Esbjerg Golf Club
Golf is an outdoor sport, originated from Scotland and has been played for at least five centuries in the British Isles. Golf is played on a tract of land known as the course which consists of a series of holes or cups. Most golf courses usually consist of nine or eighteen holes. There are several types of golf courses namely Parkland, Links, Heathland, Desert, Browns, Sand, Snow, Par3 and Executive.
North of Esbjerg on the south-western coast of Jutland, amidst rolling heath, moorland and pine forests lies one of Denmark's top golf venue, Esbjerg Golf club. Founded in 1921, Esbjerg is one of the oldest golf clubs in Denmark. Its championship course, consistently ranked amongst Denmark Top 10 and Europe Top 100 courses, has been designed by Frederik Dreyer, doyen of Danish architects in 1975.
The Marbaek Course is a long and challenging layout skillfully integrated into its natural surroundings over gently undulating grounds of heath laid out on the fringes of the Marbaek Plantation nature reserve, through an area of moorland with edges and woods, typical of this part of Denmark. The course is visually very attractive and stunning when the heather is in bloom, with shades ranging from bright pink to deep purple.
There are no water hazards and few trees on this challenging course. The main difficulties lie with some excellent bunkering, particularly in the fairways on the back nine, and the prevailing winds from the North Sea. This is a very natural course and a subtle layout in a rather rough setting, with plenty of charm, enhanced by a complete feeling of isolation.
This Par 71 Course has 18 holes measuring 5,638 meters or 6,168 yards with a 124 slope gradient for a 71 course rating from the championship tees. A handicap of 36 is required on the Marbaek.Walking is allowed on the course and Buggies are available. The championship course has played host to a number of international tournaments, such as the European Girls Team Championship in 2003 and the Challenge Tour Danish Open in 2004.
