Sweden
It's hard to imagine why more foreign visitors do not head for the golf courses of Sweden. The overall quality of courses and facilities rank alongside any great golf nation and with the likes of Barseback, Ljunghusens, Halmstad (Tylosand), Ullna and Bro-Balsta on offer, this is 5-star golfing country. The golf season in Sweden is probably shorter than in many other countries. However, during the summer months this is compensated by the long hours of daylight. In Skåne, the most southern province of the country, the first courses open in the first half of April. They close in October or even in the beginning of November. To make the most of your golfing trip, and to help in your planning, you can look up the location of the best courses in Sweden on our customised maps.
