South & West Sweden

Southern and western Sweden has the best climate for golf, with relatively mild winters. Historically, this region has been the natural point of contact with the Anglo-Saxon world. The city of Gothenburg has long established contacts with Scotland so it’s perhaps no surprise that the sport came here first at the start of the 20th century.

    South & West Sweden, Sweden

    At Sölvesborgs Golf Club the ability to shape the ball and play smart might create the basis for a good score, however the pressure is on all the way until you walk off the 18th green. It's not long, but it's a fun test for any player.
