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].

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.
