Great Northern is a superb choice for golfers looking for a luxury stay-and-play experience in Denmark, combining championship golf, contemporary Nordic accommodation, an extensive spa and excellent dining in the peaceful surroundings of Kerteminde on the island of Funen. Close to the coast and surrounded by open countryside, it has the feel of a destination resort while still being within easy reach of Odense and the rest of Denmark.

The accommodation offering was significantly expanded in June 2026, with a new hotel building adding 52 rooms and suites to the resort’s original 15 bungalows. Great Northern now has 67 rooms in total, ranging from stylish Signature Rooms to larger Double Signature Rooms and Great Northern Suites. The original 54m² bungalows remain a particularly attractive option for golfers wanting extra privacy and space amongst the surrounding greenery.

Golf is naturally at the centre of the Great Northern experience. The resort is home to Denmark’s first course created by Nicklaus Design, with the 18-hole championship layout using the natural contours of the landscape, water features and changing wind conditions to create a proper strategic test. There is also a nine-hole Academy Course and extensive practice facilities, making it easy to spend additional time working on your game.

Great Northern also hosted the 2026 Danish Golf Championship on the DP World Tour, giving the resort genuine championship pedigree.

One of the biggest reasons we would recommend staying rather than simply visiting for a round is the Great Northern Spa. Covering around 4,500m², the spa provides a complete wellness experience with its Aqua Spa, treatment facilities and Yoga Studio. A carefully designed journey through warm, cold and steam experiences gives you plenty of ways to recover after golf, while treatments are available if you want to properly switch off during your stay.

Food is another important part of the experience. The resort’s approach is centred around seasonal Danish ingredients and the produce of Funen, with contemporary Nordic cooking complementing the peaceful surroundings. It makes dinner feel like part of the holiday rather than simply somewhere to eat after golf.

Kerteminde itself is also worth exploring, with its coastline, harbour and relaxed small-town atmosphere giving you plenty to enjoy away from the course.

For golfers who want far more than simply a hotel beside a golf course, Great Northern delivers an excellent combination of championship golf, Nordic design, spa facilities and gastronomy.
