SWING IN SWEDEN Tee them High and Let them Fly…. From the south right up to the north, Sweden is a golfer’s playground. Unique courses provide excitement and challenge, stimulation and relaxing serenity. Nordic Driving tees are surrounded by thick pine forests, crystal lakes are edged by a sturdy rough. And wide-open fairways, occasionally cut by traps of sand, unfold onto emerald green putting greens. In numbers of courses and golf clubs, Sweden is one of Europe’s major golf countries. Golfing season varies a lot from one end of the country to another. In southernmost Sweden, golf is possible from March to November – but if weather permits, all year.The farther north you go, the later the courses open. In northernmost Sweden, the season runs from May to September/October. But on the other hand, the midnight sun up in the north permits golf around the clock from June to August. Bjorkliden Golf Course was build 1929 and its peak time was when the so called dollar trains started to roll in Sweden during the fiftieth. With Sami people as caddies and when the light of the midnight sun was flooding they hit a few shoots on the course, celebrated in champagne and returned to their trains to find more adventure. www.bjorkliden.comI played this golf course and I loved it – except for the mosquitoes. Make sure to bring repellent! It is fun, it is different and it is extremely beautiful!
