Fanø Golf Links

Fanø Golf Links, located on the island of Fanø in Region Syddanmark, Denmark, is the oldest golf course in the country and its only true links layout. The 18-hole course sits within Nationalpark Vadehavet, one of Denmark's most protected natural areas. The course blends seamlessly into the dune landscape — fairways occupy the low ground between the dunes, while the dunes themselves form the rough. There is little to distinguish the course from its surroundings until you are playing it. Tee boxes sit atop the dunes, opening up broad views across the island with the North Sea in the background. This is golf in its original form, shaped by wind, heather, marram grass, and natural terrain rather than construction. For anyone drawn to links golf as it was first played in Scotland, Fanø Golf Links offers that experience in a rare and protected natural setting.
