Seven-time host to the Nordea Masters Tour, GolfUppsala’s open country course at Söderby Golf Club opened in 2004 and it measures a testing 6,670 metres from the black tees. It's therefore no surprise they refer to their Johan Benestam design as a “championship” layout.

Soderby has staged a number of professional competitions in recent years, including events on the Swedish men's tour and the 2021 edition of the Golf Upsalla Open in the LET Access Series, the official feeder tour for the LET. This par-73 course is long and tough, with the playing strategy on almost half the holes influenced by water hazards.
Highlights include the par four 3rd (rated stroke index 1) which bends gently past a lake on the left as it heads to the green; the severely right doglegging par four 8th; the longest of the par threes at the heavily sand protected 16th; and the par five closing hole which plays to a home green with a big pond guarding the front right of the putting surface.
