Falsterbo, Sweden One of the very few true links courses outside of the UK, Falsterbo has sandy beaches, fearsome winds and rugged coastline. The current course dates back to the 1930s, although the club itself has been around since 1909. Perched on the most southwesterly tip of Sweden, its features include holes that wrap around a lighthouse — once the centre of the original nine. Only two of these original holes remain, but today’s course with a very Scotish wild terrain, complete with gorse, makes for a challenging round. Capture it at sunset and it’ll stay in the memory bank forever. falsterbogk.se
Linna Golf
Visby, Sweden This course is located on the Swedish island of Gotland, some 55 miles off the mainland. The walled medieval town of Visby is not only its capital but as a former Viking site, is also recognised by UNESCO. As for the golf, it’s a Nordic favourite among those in the know and was renovated by former Ryder Cup players Pierre Fulke and Adam Mednick. The original course dates back to the 1950s and the duo managed to update the course while also staying true to its origins. A restaurant on the beach finishes off one of the most scenic rounds you’ll ever play and tops off a memorable golfing experience. visbygk.com
