About this course

Mellan is one of three courses at Upsala Golfklubb, located in Uppsala, Sweden's historic university city north of Stockholm. Designed by Nils O. Nyberg and Einar "Eja" Jansson, the course reflects the work of two figures active in Swedish golf course architecture during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Jansson, often known as "Eja," contributed to several layouts in Sweden during an era when the sport was expanding across Scandinavia. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the Uppsala region, where gently rolling topography and mixed woodland create natural corridors for golf holes. Swedish inland courses of this vintage typically feature tree-lined fairways, modest elevation changes, and routing that works with rather than against the existing landscape. Mellan, as its name suggests—"mellan" means "middle" in Swedish—likely serves as an intermediate option in length and difficulty between Upsala's other courses, providing variety for members and visitors. Upsala Golfklubb has a long-standing presence in Swedish golf, and its multi-course facility reflects the club's development over decades. The setting near Uppsala, with its academic heritage and proximity to the capital region, gives the club a membership base drawn from both local residents and the broader Stockholm area. The courses operate within the Swedish golf season, which runs from spring through autumn, and the club maintains traditions common to Scandinavian golf culture, where accessibility and community play central roles.

Getting there

The journey to Upsala Golfklubb begins at Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN), Sweden's principal international gateway, positioned just forty minutes south of Uppsala by car or rail. From the terminal, the route north traces the E4 motorway through gently rolling farmland and scattered birch groves before peeling west into Uppsala's leafy outskirts, where the landscape softens into the wooded terrain that cradles the club. The final approach winds through quiet residential lanes and opens onto the grounds themselves - a serene, parkland setting that feels worlds removed from the academic bustle of Sweden's fourth-largest city, yet remains effortlessly within reach of both Stockholm and Uppsala's historic center.
