Golf and Tourism in Denmark
Golf in Denmark is not a major sport. While it is continually growing in popularity it is not on a scale with other European countries. We would therefore not recommend visiting Denmark purely for golf. However the country has a lot to offer the tourist and it is possible to combine golf with the country's other and perhaps more interesting attractions.Some basic tourist information about Denmark is as follows. The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen, which is in the east of the country in the Zealand region. Other larges cities are Odense and Aiborg - see map. Denmark has a population of approximately 5 million (similar to Ireland). Languages widely understood are Danish, German and English. The Danes enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the European Community (but do not enjoy the high level of taxation).
The climate is similar to that in the British Isles, that is, rainfall throughout the year, warm rather than hot summers but slightly colder winters. One should dress accordingly.
Danes are typically relaxed ; they would not be as formal as the Germans nor as informal as the Italians. They are proud of their heritage and indeed once ruled over Norway and Sweden. To this day, Denmark controls Greenland and the Faeroe Islands. Bornholm Island lies to the east of Copenhagen in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
The currency is the Danish Krone. Bank and shop are typical of those elsewhere in Europe. The fishing industry is one of the world's largest. Denmark also exports a lot of raw materials such as granite and chalk. Denmark's most famous export is probably Lego; the home of which is Billund in central Jutland. Denmark is also famous for Hans Christian Andersen.
