Landeryd (Masters)

A 1990 design from architect Åke Persson, the Norra course at Landeryds Golfklubb winds its way around three distinct landforms – heathland, parkland and woodland – beside the Kinda canal and its American character is underlined by the waterfall at the par three 7th hole.

The course measures 6,146 metres from the championship tees, with par set at 72. Unusually, it features back-to-back par fives on both the front nine (#4 and #5) and the back nine (#12 and #13). The inward half is also a bit unusual with a configuration of three par threes, three par fours and three par fives. Water hazards play a part in proceedings at half the holes on the card.

Notable holes on the Masters include the left doglegging par five 5th (where a creek crosses the fairway close to the green); the stroke index 2-rated par four 14th (veering past a pond to the right of the fairway); and the 364-metre 18th which features a final aquatic obstacle a hundred metres short of the home green.

The Masters course has hosted the Nordea Masters and the PGA Championship in recent years.
