The Danish Golf Union (Danish: Dansk Golf Union, DGU) is the governing body for the sport of golf in Denmark. It manages the national golf teams, the national golf championships, and maintains the Rules of Golf in Danish. DGU was founded in 1931 by Esbjerg Golfklub, Helsingør Golf Club, Odense Golfklub and Københavns Golf Klub, Denmark's oldest golf club founded in 1898. DGU became a member of the European Golf Association (EGA) in 1958 and is a member of Danmarks Idræts-Forbund, the National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark.

DGU organizes around 150,000 active golfers and around 190 golf clubs in Denmark.
