Golf arrived in Sweden in the early twentieth century, with Gothenburg's historic links to Scotland providing a natural entry point. The country's second-oldest club, Stockholms Golfklubb, was founded in 1904, yet golf remained a niche pursuit until the 1980s and 1990s, when it expanded rapidly into one of Sweden's largest organised sports with close to half a million registered members.

Visby at Kronholmen celebrated the first fifty years of club history in 2008 and this remains an extremely popular European golf course.
Clearly Bro Hof Slott Golf Club has a very bright future, especially given that the Stadium course hosted five editions of the Scandinavian Masters tournament between 2010 and 2016.
Falsterbo is one of the few true classic links courses in Continental Europe. It’s located at the southernmost tip of Sweden on the scenic Falsterbo peninsula, where the Öresund and the Baltic meet.
The Åhus Östra (East) course at Kristianstad Golfklubb is one of Sweden’s elder statesmen and is located at Åhus on a sandy and gently undulating landscape.
"Water, water everywhere" could easily be the slogan of Ullna Golf Club where there are many holes set hard beside Lake Ullna (which doubles up in the winter as a huge skating rink).
Opened in 2009, the course at Vallda Golf and Country Club was fashioned by Hawtree Design in a classic British style, inspired by London’s heathland. With fescue seeded playing surfaces, Hawtree has created the feel good factor.
The refashioned Österled (East) course at Österåkers Golf, now called Öster by Stenson, reopened in 2019. Designed by the 2016 Open Champion (and architect Christian Lundin), the East is themed on the Stadium course at TPC Sawgrass and L’Albatros at Golf National.
Sweden has some fantastic golf courses and the Norra (North) course at Halmstad Golfklubb is one of them. It’s a surreal setting where you can smell the salty sea air and you can hear the sea, but you can’t see it.
It’s reckoned the Swedish PGA complex just outside Malmö took over ten years of planning and construction before the new 18-hole The National Links course emerged in the summer of 2009.
