Stockholm
Stockholms Golfklubb: The second oldest golf club in Sweden can boast a pleasant parkland course situated a few kilometres north of Stockholm's city centre. Although apartment blocks beyond the course come into view on parts of the front-nine loop, the back-nine gets you alongside the Edsviken waterway, for a few scenic lakeside holes.
As a par-69 the course is inevitably on the short side and quite compact in places. Shouts of "Fore!" are not too uncommon here. Some of the best holes in the layout, especially the par-4 1st, 2nd and short doglegging 11th, make good use of a small steep hill, around which the course flows. The show-stealer is the par-3 14th, played directly alongside the Edsviken.
Accuracy versus length is at a premium throughout, with a combination of attractive bunkering, trees and occasional rough providing good definition to the holes. Always presented in excellent condition, this is one of the more interesting golf courses to play in and around Stockholm ... and one of the closest to the city centre.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance (visitors can book 2 days ahead of day of play). Maximum handicap: men 24; women 30.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2018].

Founded in 1904, Stockholms Golfklubb is the third oldest golf club in Scandinavia, behind Københavns/Royal Copenhagen (1898) and Göteborgs GK (1902).
The current course (there have been five different locations in the club's history) is located alongside the "Edsviken", a long narrow inlet of the Baltic Sea, which runs between the Stockholm suburbs of Danderyd, Solna and Sollentuna.

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.
