Soft and hard courses

Do you know the dos and don’ts of Danish golf? If not, here is a small lesson in golf etiquette in Denmark.

Soft spikes
The issue of hard versus soft spikes has also been discussed in Denmark, but a survey made by the national golf union DGU shows that at present only 25 per cent of Danish golf courses require soft spikes.

Some clubs have no specific requirements but kindly request that players use soft spikes if possible. Simons Golf Club in North Zealand is one distinct exception, since nobody is allowed to enter the course with metal spikes.

Four ball maximum

“Japanese five balls” are not accepted anywhere in Denmark, four-balls being the maximum. On the other hand, two-balls are accepted and will not be combined with another two-ball if the players do not want it to be combined. Visiting players are of course expected to follow the general pace and golfing etiquette at the courses. Danes love to play golf and are very tolerant towards visitors, but they naturally expect visitors to show similar consideration.
