Sweden conjures up images of blonde, gorgeous people, long summer days and enduring winter nights. Not to mention flat-pack furniture and irritatingly popular music.

Halmstad Golfklubb (Norra)
South & West Sweden, Sweden
Halmstad Golfklubb (Norra)

Central & North Sweden, Sweden

Sölvesborg
South & West Sweden, Sweden
Sölvesborg
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.

South & West Sweden, Sweden
Barsebäck (Pine)
The Ocean course attracts all the golfing accolades at Barsebäck Golf resort because of its national and international tournament history but the shorter Pine course, which debuted in 1989, really doesn’t deserve to be overlooked at this wonderful golf complex on the Oresund Strait.

Situated next to an inlet of Lake Vättern, the 18-hole layout at Askersunds Golfklubb was originally configured as a 9-hole course back in 1984. In such pleasant rural surroundings, it’s hard to imagine this was once a heavily industrialized zinc mining region.

When you visit Halmstad Golf Club at Tylösand, make sure you include time to enjoy both courses. The Södra (South) is just as much fun to play and is as well maintained as the more famous North course.
