The Best Golf Courses in Sweden
Sweden produces a steady stream of world class players, and its best courses match them: a lakeside modern championship outside Stockholm, a true links at the country's southern tip and a clutch of Solheim Cup venues. Our ranked eight, with verdicts and how to play them.

How we ranked them
For a country with such a short season, Sweden punches far above its weight. It has produced major champions and a conveyor belt of tour players, and the courses that shaped them run from a billionaire's lakeside championship layout near Stockholm to a genuine seaside links in the far south and a string of west coast clubs that have hosted the Solheim Cup. We weighed the quality and conditioning of the golf, the strength of the setting, how readily a visiting group can get on, and tournament pedigree where it sharpens the test. The result spans the modern and the manicured, the historic and the wild.
Every fact here, the designers, the host events and the indicative green fees, was checked at the time of writing in June 2026 by the GolfForKings editorial desk. Fees move with the season and the year, and Swedish golf is a summer affair, so treat the numbers as a guide and always confirm directly before booking. The verdicts are ours. If your group wants any of these built into a costed itinerary, with the internal flights and the long summer evenings made the most of, that is exactly what our concierge does.
The 8 best golf courses in Sweden
Bro Hof Slott, Stadium Course
Sweden's number one since the day it opened, a Robert Trent Jones junior championship course laid out on the shore of Lake Malaren northwest of Stockholm. Long, beautifully presented and dramatic, with water in play across the closing stretch, it has hosted the Nordea Masters and the Scandinavian Masters on the DP World Tour and remains the benchmark for modern Swedish golf. The estate around it, anchored by a lakeside castle, gives the whole place a sense of occasion that no other course in the country can match.
Halmstad Golf Club, North Course
The grand old club of the Swedish west coast, set in pine forest by the sea at Tylosand near Halmstad and host of the 2007 Solheim Cup. The North Course is a classic, tree lined test of subtle, strategic golf, beautifully matured and consistently rated among the very best in the country. A long waiting list for membership tells you how prized it is at home, and a round here is a study in understated, old school quality.
Falsterbo Golfklubb
One of the few true links courses in continental Europe, laid out on the flat, sandy peninsula at the very southern tip of Sweden near Malmo, with the lighthouse, the sea and the wading birds for company. Firm turf, ever present wind and a wonderful sense of space make it a links lover's pilgrimage, and the closing holes along the water are as good as any in Scandinavia. Quirky, historic and utterly distinct from the country's parkland and resort courses.
Barseback Golf and Country Club, Masters Course
A championship club on the Oresund coast north of Malmo, host of the 2003 Solheim Cup and several Scandinavian Masters titles. The Masters Course mixes open, links like holes near the shore with tighter tree lined ones inland, a varied and demanding test that has stood up to the best players in the women's and men's games. Well conditioned and welcoming, it pairs naturally with Falsterbo for a southern Sweden golf trip based around Malmo and the bridge to Copenhagen.
Ullna Golf and Country Club
A Jack Nicklaus course set around a lake at Rosersberg northeast of Stockholm, long a fixture on the Swedish tournament scene and once a regular European Tour host. Water is the defining feature, in play on many holes and framing the handsome closing stretch, and the conditioning is among the best in the Stockholm region. A polished, scenic round and an easy pairing with Bro Hof Slott for a capital based trip.
Hills Golf and Sports Club
The standout course near Gothenburg, an Arthur Hills design carved through a rugged landscape of woodland, marsh and rocky outcrops on the edge of Molndal, and host of the 2018 Nordea Masters. It begins and ends in a natural amphitheater, with the clubhouse on a rocky promontory above the lake that the ninth and eighteenth wrap around. Dramatic, modern and beautifully presented, it is the obvious centerpiece of a west Sweden golf week.
Bro Hof Slott, Castle Course
The second eighteen at Bro Hof Slott, and a fine course in its own right that many members quietly prefer to its famous sibling. Set back from the lake through gentler, more wooded terrain, the Castle is a touch more forgiving and a touch more strategic, the ideal complement on a stay at the estate. Together the two courses make Bro Hof Slott the strongest single destination for golf anywhere in Sweden.
Visby Golfklubb
A windswept course on the limestone island of Gotland, blending parkland and links style holes with panoramic views over the Baltic Sea. The setting, a short hop from the medieval town of Visby with its walls and ruined churches, makes it one of the most memorable rounds in the country, and the firm, breezy conditions give it a genuine seaside character. A wonderful reason to fold an island summer escape into a Swedish golf trip.

Where they are, and indicative costs
The great Swedish courses cluster in three areas. Around Stockholm sit Bro Hof Slott and Ullna, the modern championship core. The west coast around Gothenburg holds Hills, and further south the Malmo region gathers Barseback and the links at Falsterbo, with Halmstad in between on the Tylosand coast. Gotland is a flight or ferry out into the Baltic. Internal flights and good roads tie them together, so a week can comfortably mix a Stockholm leg with a southern or west coast finish.

Sweden golf questions
What is the best golf course in Sweden?
Bro Hof Slott's Stadium Course is the clear number one, a Robert Trent Jones junior championship layout on Lake Malaren near Stockholm that has ranked first in the country since it opened in 2007 and hosted the DP World Tour. For a classic, Halmstad's North Course is the connoisseur's pick, and for something completely different the links at Falsterbo is a must. Our ranking weighs the golf, the setting and the ease of access together.
When is the best time to play golf in Sweden?
May to September is the season, with the long Nordic summer days giving light until late evening in June and July, when you can comfortably play thirty six holes. The courses are at their best from midsummer into early autumn. Spring and late autumn can be cool and breezy, and winter golf is not an option. Always confirm course conditions and opening before you travel.

Indicative 2026 green fees at the leading courses run from roughly SEK 900 to SEK 2,000, about 80 to 175 euros, highest at Bro Hof Slott. A week with hotels, several rounds and transfers typically lands from around £2,000 to £3,500 per head excluding flights. Always confirm directly before booking.
