Degeberga-Widtsköfle

Ironically, Swedish architect Tommy Nordström is probably best known for his Norwegian design at Borre but he also has many top-notch native projects to his name, including the likes of Varberg, Kristianstad and here at Degeberga.

Degeberga-Widtsköfle Golf Club opened for play in 1990 and the course lies a few miles inland from the east coast of Skåne, in the south of the country. Its springy heathland fairways are a joy to play on, even though they do rise and fall with regularity over some testing terrain.

Degeberga plays to a par of 72 over a measured course of 6,932 yards from the back markers and its four par threes are all feature holes with two of them short and two long, evenly spaced out at holes 4, 9, 13 and 16 on the scorecard.

The 163-yard 4th is probably the best of this quartet with its green protected by water to the front and flanked by three bunkers on either side of the putting surface.
