Ekarnas Golfklubb

Ekarnas Golfklubb sits in the municipality of Grästorp in Västra Götaland, a region of southwestern Sweden characterized by rolling agricultural land and scattered woodlands. The course was designed by Nils Sköld and Jan Andersson, Swedish architects who have contributed to the development of golf in the country's western provinces. The layout reflects the natural topography of the area, incorporating elevation changes and native vegetation into the routing. The course occupies terrain typical of inland Västra Götaland, where open farmland transitions into forested sections. Players encounter a mix of hole types that take advantage of the property's contours, with fairways that move through both exposed and tree-lined corridors. The design emphasizes strategic placement off the tee and approach play that must account for the land's natural movement. Ekarnas serves the local golfing community in this part of Sweden, providing a venue for regular play in a region where the sport has grown steadily over recent decades. The club operates within the traditions common to Swedish golf clubs, where membership and visitor play coexist and the course remains accessible to those traveling through Västra Götaland. The setting offers a representative example of Swedish inland golf, where design works with rather than against the existing landscape.
