Samsø Golf Club – Review and Rating

Translated by AI

The course is very varied, with everything from windswept short holes to tricky par-4 doglegs and fairly short par 5s.

Excellent signs to the next tee mean you won’t get lost on this very charming island course with both parkland and seaside holes.

The par 3s do not vary much in length. From the red tees they are about 125 meters, from the yellow about 145 meters. The par 4s range from 245 to 280 meters from the red tees and from 285 to 350 meters from the yellow. The par 5s are just under 400 meters from the red tees and just under 450 meters from the yellow. To sum up, this course suits most golfers, from scratch players to average golfers. For beginners there is a really nice 9-hole par-3 course.

The fairways are in normal condition, while the greens, usually undulating, are in very good shape. The greens, cut short and fast, are of the highest quality. Strategically placed bunkers with fairly coarse Samsø sand are part of the experience. At every tee there is of course a sign with a sketch map of the hole, but there is no course guide, which according to club manager Henrik Sörensen will be ready in time for the anniversary year.
