Billeruds Golfklubb

Billeruds Golfklubb sits in Segmon, a small community in Värmland County in western Sweden, near the Norwegian border. The course was designed by Douglas Brasier and Nils Sköld, two architects who worked on several Swedish layouts during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The region is characterized by forests, lakes, and rolling terrain typical of inland Scandinavia, and the course reflects this natural setting with routing that moves through wooded areas and open clearings. The layout takes advantage of Värmland's topography, incorporating elevation changes and natural water features where the land allows. Brasier and Sköld's design philosophy generally emphasized playability for members while respecting the existing landscape, avoiding excessive earthmoving in favor of working with native contours and vegetation. The course serves a local membership drawn from the surrounding communities in this relatively rural part of Sweden. Billeruds operates as a traditional member club, providing year-round facilities within the constraints of the Swedish golf season, which typically runs from late spring through early autumn. The club maintains the course and clubhouse amenities standard for regional Swedish golf clubs, offering a home course for golfers in an area where population density is low and courses are spread across considerable distances.
