Holstebro Golfklub - Storåbanen

Holstebro Golfklub’s Storåbanen is a proper Danish links, sculpted from the wild, undulating heathland alongside the Storå river. Don’t expect manicured perfection here; this is golf as it should be – raw, natural, and demanding. The layout cleverly uses the existing landscape, meaning heather, gorse and strategically placed bunkers are very much in play. It’s a thinking golfer’s course where position off the tee is paramount, and a running ball is often rewarded. What sets Storåbanen apart is its 26-hole configuration. While you can play a traditional 18, the extra holes weave seamlessly into the existing layout, offering varied challenges and the chance to experience a different perspective on the course. The bentgrass greens are consistently excellent, providing a smooth, true putting surface – a welcome contrast to the ruggedness surrounding them. Expect a brisk wind, particularly when playing closer to the river, adding another layer of complexity to your shot selection. There’s a wonderfully unpretentious atmosphere at Holstebro. It’s a course favoured by locals who clearly relish the challenge and the beautiful, unspoiled setting. It’s a place where you can truly escape, focus on your golf, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the Danish countryside. It’s not about length, it’s about cleverness, and a good dose of local knowledge helps too.
