Herning Golf Club

Herning Golf Klub is located near the city centre of Herning and has an 18-hole Park Course of par 72. But even though the course is located so close to the city, it is not noticeable on the rather flat course, which is surrounded by green areas and with trees on most holes. There are also good natural challenges with lakes and streams to avoid and a patch of woodland that can be a bit tricky if the ball strays into the woodland hedge. The 'Pay & Play' course is open to all. There are five holes where both beginners and the easily practised can get themselves a little challenge, so whether you are a beginner or experienced, a cheap mini holiday near Herning is a good opportunity to get out to hit the ball.
