Local tips
- Bring a mix of straight‑flying woods and reliable long irons: several holes reward accuracy over pure distance, especially where water and trees pinch the fairway.
- Allow extra time for a warm‑up on the practice areas or a quick loop of the par‑3 course; it is a good way to tune wedges and putting before tackling the main 18.
- Pack layers and a light windproof jacket; the course alternates between sheltered forest edges and more exposed stretches where wind can feel noticeably cooler.

Getting There
-
Train and taxi from Aalborg
From Aalborg, take a regional train to Skørping station, a journey of roughly 25–35 minutes with departures typically at least once per hour during the day. From the station, a pre‑booked taxi to the club usually takes 10–15 minutes depending on traffic. Expect to pay around 40–70 DKK for the train ticket each way in standard class and approximately 130–200 DKK for the taxi ride, varying with time of day and waiting fees.
-
Regional bus from Skørping area
If you are already in the Skørping and Rebild area, regional buses connect the town centre with stops along the roads leading towards Rold Forest. Travel time is typically 15–30 minutes depending on route and waiting time. Single tickets on local buses generally cost in the range of 20–40 DKK per adult, and services run less frequently in the evenings and on weekends, so check the timetable in advance and allow a short walk on gently undulating terrain from the nearest stop.
-
Car from Aalborg and North Jutland
Travelling by car from Aalborg or elsewhere in North Jutland is often the most flexible option, with journeys from Aalborg commonly taking about 30–40 minutes under normal traffic conditions. The route follows main roads towards Skørping before smaller country roads lead to the club and the surrounding forest. There is usually parking available close to the clubhouse, but spaces can be busier on weekends, during tournaments and on peak summer days, so plan to arrive a little early to find a convenient spot and prepare your equipment.

Forest-edge fairways between hills and heath
Rold Skov Golf Club sits where open countryside meets the deep Rold Forest, giving the course a distinctly natural, almost wild backdrop. Fairways dip through gentle valleys and climb over low ridges, framed by pines, birch and stretches of heathland. From the opening tee you see elevation, water and trees all at once, a good preview of the variety to come. The layout is classic Danish countryside golf: generous views, plenty of fresh air and a constant sense of being in the landscape rather than looking at it from afar. On breezy days the wind adds an extra layer of challenge as it whips across the open holes and funnels between the trees.A full-length challenge plus a friendly par‑3 loop
The heart of the club is its 18‑hole course, a par‑72 design long enough to test confident drivers but fair to those who keep the ball in play. Subtle doglegs, carefully placed bunkers and several water hazards reward accurate tee shots and sensible strategy more than brute strength. Greens are contoured rather than extreme, encouraging a blend of low running chips and lofted pitches. Alongside the main course sits a compact par‑3 loop of six short holes. It is ideal for sharpening your wedge play, introducing newcomers to the game or slipping in a quick round when time is tight. Together with the putting green and short‑game areas, it makes the club a place where both beginners and experienced golfers can comfortably spend hours practicing.Playing conditions shaped by forest and weather
The proximity of Rold Forest gives the course character through the seasons. In spring and summer, trees provide shelter and a lush green frame to the fairways; in late summer the rough and heath take on golden tones. After rain, the turf tends to stay playable, and on crisp, clear days you can see long views across the surrounding countryside from the more elevated tees. Because the course threads between hills and hollows, you experience a mix of tight, tree‑lined sections and more open, forgiving stretches. This variety means that no two consecutive holes feel alike, and wind direction can radically change how a familiar hole plays from one day to the next.Clubhouse comfort and a laid-back social scene
Back at the clubhouse, the atmosphere shifts from concentrated focus to casual relaxation. Large windows and terraces often overlook the finishing greens, so you can watch groups putting out while enjoying something to eat or drink. Inside, simple, practical interiors keep the emphasis on conversation and post‑round storytelling rather than formality. Facilities are geared to golfers’ needs: places to sit and warm up, space to sort equipment, and an easy transition from course to lounge. It feels more like a community hub than a showpiece building, somewhere to plan the next round or compare approaches to a tricky dogleg.A forest gateway for active days out
One of the quiet pleasures of Rold Skov Golf Club is how easily a day here blends with the wider landscape. The club lies close to walking and cycling routes that lead deeper into the forest and towards the undulating terrain of Rebild Bakker. That makes it a natural base for an active outing: a long morning on the fairways followed by an unhurried stroll among the trees. Whether you come for a focused practice session, an 18‑hole test among hills and ponds, or a gentle introduction to the game on the par‑3 course, the setting remains the same: birdsong from the forest, big Jutland skies above and the steady rhythm of golf played at an unhurried Danish pace.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
