The golf club changed its name to Flommen when it joined the Swedish Golf Federation to avoid confusion with its celebrated next door neighbour, Falsterbo.
It’s never easy for a golf club when its course lies in close proximity to another of higher stature and in the case of Flommen, it suffers twice the discomfort because it’s situated right next door to the clebrated links layouts at Falsterbo and Ljunghusen, both of which sit comfortably within the upper reaches of the national rankings.
Originally formed as Falsterbo Golf Society in 1935, the club changed its name when it joined the Swedish Golf Federation eleven years after its formation to avoid confusion with its celebrated next door neighbour.
It’s not known who laid out the original 9-hole course but two members, Stig Kristersson and Stig Bergendorff, added a further nine holes when land became available for expansion in 1966.
The name Flommen is taken from the shallow lagoon that lies to the west of the course and the springy-turfed fairways on the layout wind through areas of wetlands, low-lying sand bars and inland waterways that characterise the landscape at the tip of the Falsterbo peninsula.
The par four 6th is a tough hole on the front nine, where the tee shot is played to an island fairway en route to the green. On the inward half, back-to-back par fives are sandwiched between short holes at the 14th and 17th.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
