Ljunghusens Golfklubb: Like its near neighbour Falsterbo, Ljunghusens is not a golf course to be missed when in southern Sweden. There are 27 holes on offer here: holes 1-9 (Yellow) and holes 10-18 (Red) is the usual combination, although holes 19-27 (White) is the oldest nine.
Stepping into the treeless and expansive openness of Ljunghusen, with its abundance of fairway-lining heather and fescues, is to enter a golfing realm abounding with interest and challenge. The layout easily overcomes its innate flatness to entertain you from start to finish, although if your shot-making is wayward, or the wind is blowing strongly, "ball-finding" will become your least favourite challenge. Occasional water ditches, small ponds and a scattering of "pot" bunkers will also need to factored into your course management.
The level of upkeep at Ljunghusen is generally first-class, while the beauty of the wonderfully open environment is often breathtaking. Whether Ljunghusen has the edge over Falsterbo, or vice versa, is a matter of personal choice. For visitors to the area, our strong advice is to play them both ... and only then decide.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

Ljunghusen Golfklubb was founded in 1932 and its first members, only ten in number, originally played on a 6-hole course. By the end of the first season the membership had risen to 43. Mainly based in Malmö, the players would take a train to Ljunghusen and then a horse & cart the rest of the way to the course. During the years from 1932 until 1965 the course was gradually expanded from the original six holes to today's 27.
2018 Golf World rating: among the second 100 best courses in continental Europe.
2020 Golf Digest rating: 15th best course in Sweden.

Tournaments:
PGA Championship: the first men’s major of the year will be contested at TPC Harding Park, without spectators being present (Aug 6-9).
European Senior (Staysure) Tour: the Europe-based over-50s tour for men has taken the reluctant step of cancelling the entire 2020 season, based on the additional coronavirus risk associated with the age demographic of the players.
Who's Who:
Miguel Ángel Jiménez: recorded his 707th European Tour start at the English Open in July, surpassing Sam Torrance’s record for the most appearances on the Tour.
Brooks Koepka: the former world No.1 defends his title at the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational at TPC Southwind in Memphis (July 30-Aug 2).
Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
