Funäsfjällens Golfklubb

Funäsfjällens Golfklubb sits in Funäsdalen, a mountain valley in Jämtland County in central Sweden, part of the larger Funäsfjällen resort area near the Norwegian border. The course was designed by Sune Linde, a Swedish architect active in the latter decades of the twentieth century who contributed to the development of golf in Sweden's more remote regions. The setting places the course among the Scandinavian Mountains, where the growing season is short and the landscape reflects the transition between boreal forest and alpine terrain. The routing works with the natural topography of the valley floor and lower slopes, incorporating elevation changes and views of the surrounding peaks. Courses at this latitude and altitude typically feature firm turf conditions during the summer months, when extended daylight hours allow for play well into the evening. The design reflects the practical constraints of mountain golf, with holes shaped by the existing landforms rather than extensive earthmoving. Funäsfjällens serves both local members and visitors to the resort area, which is known for winter sports and summer outdoor recreation. The course operates during the brief Swedish mountain summer, generally from late spring through early autumn depending on snowmelt and weather. Golf in this region emphasizes the experience of playing in a distinctive natural environment, where the mountain setting and northern location create conditions quite different from courses at lower elevations or more southern latitudes.
