The Best Golf Courses in Stockholm

Stockholm is one of golf's great summer secrets, a capital ringed by water where the best course in Sweden sits on the shore of Lake Malaren and the season runs under daylight that barely fades at midnight. From a Robert Trent Jones Jr championship test to a Jack Nicklaus redesign and a clutch of classic archipelago clubs, the golf is better and more varied than most visitors expect. Here are the seven courses we rate most highly, ranked, with our verdict on each and how to play it.

How we chose them

Stockholm's golf is defined by water and by light. The courses sit in a ring around the city, on the lakes to the northwest and through the rocky archipelago to the east, and in high summer the daylight is so long that a group can tee off in the evening and still finish in the bright. The headline is Bro Hof Slott on Lake Malaren, a Robert Trent Jones Jr course widely rated the best in the country and good enough to host the professionals, but the depth around the city is real, from a Jack Nicklaus redesign at Ullna to a Scandinavian Masters venue at Kungsangen and the old archipelago clubs that gave Swedish golf its character.

We weighed the quality and originality of the golf, the setting and conditioning and the strength of the wider trip each course anchors, because a Stockholm golf trip pairs the rounds with one of Europe's most beautiful capitals and the long Nordic summer. The order is our editors' view, so reasonable people will reorder the classic clubs. If you want any of these built into a costed trip with the tee times and a city base secured, that is exactly what our concierge does.

The ranking

Bro Hof Slott Golf Club, Stadium Course

Upplands-Bro · Robert Trent Jones Jr · 2007

The best course in Stockholm and in all of Sweden, a Robert Trent Jones Jr design that opened in 2007 along the shore of Lake Malaren, with several holes running hard against the water and a finish beneath a grand manor house. One of the longest courses in Europe from the back tees, it has hosted the Scandinavian Masters and presents a serious, beautifully conditioned championship test. Visitor access is available with advance booking, and it is the unmissable round of any Stockholm trip.

Ullna Golf and Country Club

Akersberga · Sven Tumba, Jack Nicklaus redesign

A lakeside club in the archipelago northeast of the city, conceived in 1981 by the Swedish sporting legend Sven Tumba to host international golf and later rebuilt by Jack Nicklaus, who reopened it as one of the most modern and best conditioned courses in the country. Water is everywhere, the green complexes carry the Nicklaus stamp, and the setting on the shore of Lake Ullna is among the prettiest near Stockholm. A polished, strategic round and a clear number two in the region.

Kungsangen Golf Club, Kings Course

Upplands-Bro · Anders Forsbrand

The Kings Course at Kungsangen, designed by six time European Tour winner Anders Forsbrand, hosted the Scandinavian Masters four times and remains one of the strongest championship layouts near the capital. Routed through rock, forest and water on rolling ground northwest of the city, with the gentler Queens Course alongside, it is a demanding, well regarded test and an easy pairing with nearby Bro Hof for a Lake Malaren golf day.

Bro Hof Slott Golf Club, Castle Course

Upplands-Bro · Robert Trent Jones Jr · 2009

The second course at Bro Hof Slott, opened in 2009, a Robert Trent Jones Jr design that is shorter and more forgiving than the Stadium next door but no less beautifully presented, with a consistently appealing front nine through woodland and water. It makes Bro Hof a genuine 36 hole destination and gives a group a gentler companion round to the championship course. The obvious second day at the country's leading club.

Saltsjobadens Golfklubb

Saltsjobaden · archipelago classic

One of the Stockholm area's grand old clubs, founded in 1929 on the rocky shoreline at Saltsjobaden southeast of the city, where holes play among pines and granite outcrops with views over the inner archipelago. Shorter and more characterful than the modern championship courses, it is a charming, traditional round that captures the seaside soul of Swedish golf, and a lovely contrast to the big layouts on Lake Malaren.

Wermdo Golf and Country Club

Varmdo · archipelago parkland

A well regarded club out in the archipelago east of the city on Varmdo, with mature, tree lined holes winding through forest and rock to glimpses of the water. Quieter and more secluded than the city courses, it is a favourite of Stockholm members for the setting and the peace, and a fine choice for a group that wants to play deeper into the islands and combine the golf with a day on the water.

Drottningholms Golfklubb

Lovon · royal estate setting

A parkland course on the island of Lovon to the west of the city, sharing the green and historic surrounds of Drottningholm, the royal residence and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Mature trees, open meadow and a genuine sense of place make it one of the most pleasant rounds close to central Stockholm, and its location makes it an easy half day from the city for a group looking for golf with a touch of Swedish history.

Stockholm golf questions

What is the best golf course in Stockholm?

Bro Hof Slott Golf Club's Stadium Course, the Robert Trent Jones Jr design of 2007 on the shore of Lake Malaren northwest of the city, is widely rated the best course in Stockholm and in all of Sweden. One of the longest courses in Europe, it has hosted the Scandinavian Masters. Ullna, redesigned by Jack Nicklaus, and the Kings Course at Kungsangen are the other standout rounds in the region.

Can you play golf in Stockholm in summer?

Yes, and the long Scandinavian summer days are the great draw. The season runs roughly May to September, with peak conditions in June, July and August, when daylight stretches close to midnight and you can comfortably play 36 holes or tee off late after work. Spring and autumn are cooler and the courses can be soft. Always confirm conditions and tee times before booking.

How do you plan a golf trip to Stockholm?

Most golf trips base in central Stockholm and drive out to the courses, which sit in a ring around the city, on Lake Malaren to the northwest at Bro Hof and Kungsangen, and in the archipelago to the east at Ullna and the classic seaside clubs. Distances are short, the city itself is a highlight, and the long summer days let a group fit in plenty of golf. Book Bro Hof and the marquee courses ahead.
