Golf in Sweden

The vibe
Golfing in Sweden feels like playing on courses that hug lakes and rolling heath, where the cool air and long daylight hours make each round feel both refreshing and leisurely. The best months are late spring through early autumn when greens are lush and the weather is mild, though some courses stay open with summer‑style turf into early winter. Courses attract a mix of local club members and visiting enthusiasts, with a relaxed, low‑key atmosphere that avoids the high‑energy resort feel.
