Lake Mälaren you know you are
at a special course. “Everything
is big at Bro Hof. The holes are
longer, the greens are bigger,
the course has more water and
the bunkers are larger and well
placed,” says Robert Trent Jones
Jr who designed this superb
lakeside layout with state-ofthe-art facilities. Only open
for play since 2007, Bro Hof
Slott’s Stadium Course is now a
world top 100 golf course and
has been host to the Nordea
Masters European Tour event.

Vidbynäs Golf Club: Boasts
two courses, the South Course
and North Course. Each layout
takes advantage of natural
lakes, mature vegetation, native
grasses and rock outcroppings
with top quality greens.

Brollsta Golf Klub: Has one of
the classic holes in Stockholm
golf - the 308-metre Par 4 9th
. With water all the way to the
green, it’s drivable if you hit it
like Dustin Johnson but most
people take the shorter safer
route to the fairway on the
right leaving a tricky chip to the
green. www.brollstagolf.se
Kungsängen Golf Club: Has two
18-holers, the Queens Course
and Kings Course that feature
tree-lined holes with a mix of
tight dog-legging par 4’s and
5’s that require skillful course
management to score well.

Golfers have to walk through an old farm building to tee off at Osterhaninge’s Golf Club’s 10th hole
(another good track near Haninge)
Waxholms Golfklubb: Only 25
minutes by car from Stockholm
centre, this is one of the
longest courses in Europe (6,706
metres). Close by is the historic
port of Vaxholm where a cluster
of pretty homes huddle around
a picturesque harbour, with
creaky old sailing ships moored
