Assartorps Golfklubb

Assartorps Golfklubb sits in the agricultural landscape of Skåne, Sweden's southernmost province, near the small community of Genarp between Malmö and Lund. The course was designed by Åke Persson, a Swedish architect who worked on several layouts across Scandinavia during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The setting reflects the characteristic Skåne terrain—gently rolling farmland with open views across cultivated fields and scattered woodlands. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours of the property, incorporating mature trees and modest elevation changes that provide definition without dramatic topography. Persson's design approach here emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while requiring thoughtful course management, typical of Swedish parkland layouts from this era. The relatively flat terrain allows for walking-friendly golf, and the layout integrates both strategic bunkering and natural hazards to test shot placement. Assartorps serves primarily as a members' club for the local golfing community in the Malmö-Lund corridor, offering a straightforward test of golf in a quiet rural setting. The club operates within the traditional Swedish golf culture, where accessibility and community play central roles. The course provides a representative example of regional Swedish golf design, shaped by the agricultural character of Skåne and the practical design sensibilities common to courses built for year-round play in southern Scandinavia.
