Kristianstads
Kristianstads Golfklubb & Destination: home to 36-holes of top-quality golf, split between the highly-rated East course and the also challenging 18-hole West course. As one of Sweden's top layouts, the East course has played host to the Ladies European Tour, European Ladies' Amateur Championship, and many national and regional events.
There's a pleasant parkland-cum-heathland feel to the East course, with some tree-lined stretches in the mix. The West course, which also plays across relatively flat terrain, exudes a more open "heathland" feel than its sibling.
Both layouts have benefitted from the recent attentions of course designers Pierre Fulke and Adam Mednickson, while both perenially benefit from Kristianstad's sandy sub-soil. Attractive bunkering features on both East and West, although more prominently and threateningly on the East course. The East's large, fast, often swirling greens include a double-green shared by the short par-4 7th and equally short par-4 13th.
The first 11 holes of the East encircle a more tree-lined closing section, where water threatens ... big time! On the more open West course, the clockwise outer-loop (front-nine) wraps around an anticlockwise inner-loop (back-nine).
Pick of the holes: many consider holes 13 thru' 16 on Kristianstad's East course to be one of the finest four-hole stretches in Sweden. Pride of place goes to the par-3 14th, an exquisite hole framed by tall pines, with its green fiercely defended by an elegant water feature. The same water morphs into a ditch at the doglegging par-4 15th. It presents itself again in front of the par-4 16th green. This watery "Amen Corner" is complemented by a markedly tree-lined feel.

Kristianstads golf is located just outside the town of Åhus, a popular summer destination with Swedish holidaymakers. The town of Kristianstad lies 18 km to the northwest of the golf club.
The golf club was founded in 1924 with a nine-hole course located at Rinkaby Shooting Range, halfway between Kristianstad and Åhus. In 1938, the club moved with its 38 members to Åhus and the foundation for today's nine-hole East course was laid.
The modern single-storey clubhouse at Kristianstads is home to the top-quality Pine Restaurant, which serves excellent local and international cuisine.
East course:
Continental Europe's 67th best course (Golf World, 2025).

French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
