On island of Gotland / 24 km S of Visby / by ferry from Nynäshamn (nr Stockholm) or Oskarshamn (between Kalmar and Västervik).
Visby Golf Club (also referred to as Kronholmen) is located on the offshore island of Gotland. Here, alongside the Skansudde Lighthouse, the club is home to a highly-rated 18-hole championship course (The One) and a nine-hole course (The Next One).
All 27 holes at Visby were designed by the team of Pierre Fulke (former tour professional) and Adam Mednickson (golf course architect). The layout is certainly one of Sweden's most spectacular, with several holes skirting the shoreline of the Baltic Sea.
This excellently crafted layout mixes links-style and parkland characteristics, with many attractive features built into the design. Almost all the holes offer sea views, not least those that hug the shoreline.
Stay&Play at Visby GK: onsite accommodation is available in the iconic lighthouse, alongside the first tee. See Where2Stay section below.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

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.
