The Scandinavian — New Course
A Robert Trent Jones II design in the heathland north of Copenhagen — the newer of The Scandinavian's two championship courses.
Course overview
The Scandinavian's New Course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II and Bruce Charlton on heathland terrain north of Copenhagen. The layout combines open heathland holes with tree-framed corridors, strategic bunkering and lake hazards that require precise course management from all tee positions. Together with the Old Course, it gives The Scandinavian one of the strongest 36-hole offerings in Scandinavia.

How to get there
Copenhagen Airport is the main gateway. The Scandinavian Golf Club is around 50 minutes southwest of the city near Ringsted; car hire is the most practical option. The M1/M2 metro connects the airport to Copenhagen, from where the course can be reached by regional rail and taxi.
Where to stay
Copenhagen is one of Europe's most liveable and rewarding cities, and a natural base for Danish golf at The Scandinavian. The food scene is world-class, the design and architecture inspire, and the flat, cycling-friendly city gives it a relaxed quality that suits a golf trip's rhythm.
