Budersand is the perfect place to go if you are looking for enough variety on the green: The course guarantees a unique golf experience. However, you will also find enough entertainment apart from the golf course.<\/strong>In the south of the North Sea Island you can find a place called H\u00f6rnum where a links course is situated. Combined with the strong sea breeze and the heather surrounding the area, you sometimes believe you are in Scotland, the motherland of Golf. Although the weather conditions (strong wind and quick changes of sun and rain) don\u2019t provide the best foundation for an easy 9 hole course, \u00a0these conditions somehow increase my passion for playing golf enormously. You will definitely not find another place in Germany with a similar atmosphere that comes even close to what it is like in H\u00f6rnum. The course is located on the side of the mud flats. They offer a practise green for strokes up to 100 metres.<\/span><\/p>\n

YOUR EXPERT<\/h5>\n

STATEMENT<\/h5>\n

There is even more to explore and to do on the island of Sylt: going on the elbow hike, reading a book in the beach chair at \u201cBuhne 16\u201d, visiting the south peak in Hoernum or taking a few surf lessons at the \u201cSuedkap\u201d Surfing School. Sylt is great fun and always worth a visit!<\/span><\/p>\n

JOURNEY<\/h5>\n

In order to explore the island apart from the golfing course, I always travel by car. However, if you don\u2019t have a car you can also take the ferry from Denmark, travel by train or take the plane.<\/span><\/p>\n

ACCOMMODATION<\/h5>\n

Personally, I highly recommend to rent an apartment (Rudloff). To explore the diversity of the island, you should definitely travel by car. This makes it a lot easier to also visit other golf courses.<\/span><\/p>\n

ALTERNATIVES<\/h5>\n

Windsurfing, hiking, numerous good and cozy restaurants (i.e. the Lister Austernperle), Night Clubs and Stand Up Paddling.<\/span><\/p>\n
