About this course
Orust Golf Club sits on Orust, Sweden's third-largest island, located in the Bohuslän archipelago north of Gothenburg in Västra Götaland County. The course was designed by Lasse Andreasson, a Swedish architect who has worked extensively throughout Scandinavia creating layouts suited to coastal and forested terrain. The setting reflects the characteristic landscape of Sweden's west coast, where granite bedrock, pine and spruce forests, and proximity to the sea shape the golfing experience. The routing takes advantage of the island's natural topography, moving through wooded corridors and more open terrain. Courses in this region typically feature elevation changes carved from the underlying rock, with fairways framed by native vegetation and occasional glimpses of the surrounding waterways. The design emphasizes strategic play over length, asking golfers to navigate natural features rather than overwhelming them with forced carries or artificial hazards. Orust serves both local members and visitors exploring the Bohuslän coast, an area known for its fishing villages, sailing culture, and summer tourism. The club provides a regional golfing option in a part of Sweden where courses are less densely concentrated than around major cities, offering a quieter alternative to busier mainland layouts. The island setting and Andreasson's design philosophy combine to create a course that reflects its environment without unnecessary embellishment.
