The Best Golf Courses in Stockholm
Stockholm holds the strongest concentration of golf in the Nordics: a Robert Trent Jones Jr giant on the shore of Lake Malaren that has hosted the European Tour, a Jack Nicklaus rebuilt parkland that staged the Scandinavian Mixed, a royal club beside a UNESCO listed palace, and Scandinavia's third oldest club ten minutes from downtown. The season runs roughly May to October, the courses are immaculate by June, and in midsummer the light holds long enough for 36 holes without hurrying. Here are the five that matter, ranked.

How we chose
This list was researched and written by the GolfForKings editorial desk, and every designer, opening year and host event on it was checked against club, tour and ranking sources in June 2026. Greater Stockholm has some 60 courses; we ranked on design quality first, then conditioning, tournament pedigree and the realistic chance of a visitor actually getting a tee time. Everything below sits within about 45 minutes of the city center, which means a Stockholm golf trip needs only one base: stay in town, drive out each morning, and spend the evenings in one of Europe's best looking capitals.
Access is straightforward by Swedish custom. Even the private clubs publish visitor windows, though all of them ask for advance booking and most want a recognized handicap certificate, with Bro Hof Slott the strictest of the group. The fees quoted are published or recently reported rates with their season and year attached, indicative rather than guaranteed, so always confirm directly before booking. Aim for June to early September; midsummer brings white nights and evening rounds, while late August trades a little daylight for quieter tee sheets.
The best in Stockholm, ranked
Bro Hof Slott Golf Club, Stadium Course
Sweden's number one and the most ambitious course in the Nordics. Robert Trent Jones Jr shaped the Stadium Course along the shore of Lake Malaren beneath a restored castle, and from the very back markers it stretches past 8,000 yards, one of the longest serious tests in Europe. Nobody plays it from there; from the members' tees it is a grand, watery, beautifully conditioned examination that hosted the European Tour's Nordea Masters repeatedly in the 2010s. Water threatens on more than half the holes and the closing run along the lake is the best finishing stretch in Sweden. Reported visitor green fees were around 200 euros in the 2025 high season, indicative only; always confirm directly before booking.
Access: public with advance booking and a valid handicap card. Check tee times.
Ullna Golf & Country Club
The thinking golfer's pick. Ullna was laid out around its lake in 1981 by Sven Tumba, the hockey legend who did more than anyone to popularize Swedish golf, and was rebuilt tee to green by Nicklaus Design, reopening in June 2013 with every tee, fairway, bunker and green renewed on the original routing. The result is a polished, water guarded parkland good enough that the DP World Tour and Ladies European Tour brought the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed here in 2023, hosted by Annika Sorenstam. Published visitor fees ran from 1,795 to 2,195 Swedish kronor for 18 holes on dynamic pricing in the 2025 season, indicative only; always confirm directly before booking. Our verdict: the best pure golf day within half an hour of the city.

Bro Hof Slott Golf Club, Castle Course
The Stadium's younger sibling, and many members' favorite. Robert Trent Jones Jr returned to the estate to open the Castle Course in the summer of 2010, a par 72 that climbs away from the lake into rockier, more wooded ground than its flatter sibling. It is shorter and friendlier off the tee than the Stadium but the green complexes give nothing away, and the conditioning is the same tournament standard across both. Played as a 36 hole day with lunch in the castle clubhouse between rounds, Bro Hof becomes one of the great golf days in northern Europe. Fees sit below the Stadium Course and follow the same seasonal pricing; always confirm directly before booking.

Kungliga Drottningholms Golfklubb
Royal golf, literally. Kungliga Drottningholms Golfklubb sits beside Drottningholm Palace, the UNESCO listed residence of the Swedish royal family, and carries a royal charter granted by King Gustaf VI Adolf in 1959, the year the king himself inaugurated the course. Rafael Sundblom drew it up with Nils Skold as Sweden's answer to the American parkland style, and though Sundblom died during construction, the course that emerged is a graceful, mature parkland that has hosted national championships for decades. It is a private club that releases visitor tee times on weekdays and weekends alike, with advance booking essential. Our verdict: the most atmospheric round in the capital. Confirm rates with the club before booking.
Access: private; visitor windows published, book ahead.
Stockholms Golfklubb, Kevinge
The city's heritage round. Stockholms Golfklubb, founded in 1904, is the third oldest club in Scandinavia, and its Kevinge course was laid out in 1932 by John Morrison, the design partner of Harry Colt, on rolling parkland beside the Edsviken inlet with Rafael Sundblom managing construction. The holes ride gentle hills under mature trees, the inlet glints through the trunks, and the whole thing sits ten minutes from downtown Stockholm, close enough that you can tee off at five after a day of sightseeing. Reported visitor fees were around 105 euros in mid 2025, indicative only; always confirm directly before booking. Our verdict: the easiest quality golf to bolt onto a city break, and a fine warm up for Bro Hof.
Access: visitors welcome, book ahead. Check tee times.

Plan a Stockholm golf trip
Tell us roughly when and who is traveling. One concierge books the Bro Hof 36 hole day, secures the visitor windows at Drottningholm and Ullna, pairs it all with the right hotel in town, and prices the trip honestly. We reply within one working day, with no obligation.
Building the trip
Four nights covers it without rushing: the Bro Hof Slott 36 hole day, Ullna and Drottningholm on the middle days, and Kevinge as the arrival or departure round. June and July bring the white nights, when evening tee times run late and the same long light powers our guide to summer golf in Scandinavia; late August and early September are quieter and often better conditioned. The wider country rewards a longer loop, starting with the best courses in Sweden and continuing across the water to the best of Denmark, the best of Norway and the best of Finland, with Riga an easy Baltic add on. Weigh Stockholm against its rivals in the best city break golf destinations, then let plan my trip put the whole thing in one brief.
