23 the course when I was young, and I admit it wasn’t exactly what I would have wanted, especially as the contractor at the time of the build hadn’t worked on a golf course before. It’s been good to come back and put right some of those things that didn’t quite work out 25 years ago and to have a second chance at creating the course I envisioned. How is the club operating during renovation work? Breinholtgård will only do work towards the end of the summer/ early autumn. The nice thing is that they can take nine holes out of play to do renovations, with members and visitors still able to play a full 18. Being able to keep 18 holes open for play is one of the issues of doing work on an existing course as trying to keep a full 18 open throughout a renovation process is quite difficult. But at Breinholtgård, we don’t have that problem and we can crack on making the necessary changes without disrupting play.
