Simons Golf Club

Simons Golf Club sits in the north Zealand countryside near Kvistgård, a small village in the narrow corridor of land between Esrum Lake and the Øresund coast. This is some of the most storied landscape in Danish golf — Rungsted, Helsingør, and Kokkedal all lie within a short drive, making the area one of the country's genuine concentrations of quality parkland golf. The club takes its name from the Simon family, who established it on their estate, and the course plays through mature beech and oak woodland that is characteristic of this part of northern Sjælland.

The layout rewards course management over raw power. The woodland setting means errant tee shots are punished by trees rather than rough, and several holes demand precise positioning to open up the correct angle into undulating greens. The terrain has enough natural movement to create interesting elevation changes without ever feeling contrived.

For visitors, Kvistgård is well-placed for a day that combines golf with the broader North Zealand experience — Kronborg Castle and the Louisiana Museum are both within easy reach, and the region's unhurried pace suits the kind of relaxed but attentive round this course quietly encourages.
