[6] King Edward VII granted the Royal status to the Automobile Club.
Likewise the similarly named Royal Copenhagen Golf Club's (Danish: Københavns Golf Klub) only connection with royalty is that the national park, which today includes the golf club, was established by the Danish King Christian V in the late 17th century, and King Frederik III's castle sits near the 16th hole.
[7] The course is also located in Kongens Lyngby, Danish for "the King's Heather Town".
There is no evidence to show that the golf course has been granted a charter or similar document.
[8] With some exceptions, Belgian golf clubs automatically adopt the title of Royal after they have been in operation for 50 years.
