About this course

Falsterbo Golf Club occupies a distinctive peninsula at Sweden's southwestern tip, where the Baltic Sea meets the Öresund strait. The course sits on classic linksland, a rarity in Scandinavia, with sandy soil and natural dune formations that give it character more commonly associated with British seaside golf. Robert Turnbull designed the layout in the early twentieth century, creating a routing that works through and around the coastal terrain. The exposed setting means wind is a constant factor in club selection and strategy. The landscape is notably flat compared to dramatic Scottish or Irish links, but the course compensates with strategic bunkering and the challenge of maintaining accuracy in coastal breezes. Several holes play along or toward the water, and the natural grasses and vegetation reinforce the links aesthetic. The property's position on a migratory bird route adds environmental significance to the setting, with portions of the surrounding area protected for wildlife. Falsterbo has hosted numerous Swedish championships and international amateur events over the decades, establishing its reputation as one of Scandinavia's premier seaside tests. The club maintains traditional links conditioning where appropriate, with firm turf and running approaches that reward ground game when conditions allow. For golfers seeking authentic links golf in Sweden, Falsterbo represents the country's most legitimate example of the style, shaped by its unique coastal geography and Turnbull's routing through genuine duneland.

Getting there

Falsterbo Golklubb sits on the windswept peninsula of southernmost Sweden, most readily accessed via Copenhagen Airport (CPH), a ninety-minute drive across the Øresund Bridge into Skåne and then south toward the coast. The route traces a gentle descent through the Danish-Swedish borderlands before opening onto the flat, maritime landscape of Falsterbo itself, where the North Sea's salt air and the distinctive character of Scandinavian golf architecture announce your arrival. For those with private aviation, Malmö Airport (MMD) offers a closer alternative, cutting the journey to roughly forty minutes by car. The final approach winds through the quiet villages and coastal heathland that define this corner of Sweden, delivering you to a club steeped in more than a century of Nordic golf tradition, where the sea views and austere beauty of the links are earned through the pilgrimage itself.
