Golf in Sweden is more popular than ever - it has turned the corner from its underachiever status to world-beater. Golf in Sweden is both a relaxing activity and an eye opener.

The first Swedish golf club, Gothenburg, was founded in 1902 and was quickly followed two years later by Stockholm.

Due to the Midnight Sun, golfers can tee off in northern Sweden until late at night in the summer. Swedish people love their outdoor activities, so golf is a very popular activity in this Scandinavian country.

The number of Swedish golf clubs and courses nowadays is astounding, but the following golf clubs are consistently among the most popular:

  • Södertälje Golf Club at Södertälje in Stockholm.
  • Visby Golfklubb at Västergarn Kronholmen 415 in Gotlands Tofta.
  • Malmö Golf Club at Segesvängen in Malmö.
  • PGA of Sweden National Golf Course in Bara (5 km east of Malmö).
  • Åre Golf Club in Åre (Jämtland region).
  • Umeå Golf Club at Enkan Ramborgs väg 10 in Holmsund (Vasterbotten region).
