Strömstad Golfklubb

Strömstad Golfklubb sits in the coastal town of Strömstad in Sweden's westernmost reaches, near the Norwegian border where the Skagerrak meets the Swedish archipelago. The course was designed by Nils Sköld, a Swedish architect who worked on several Scandinavian layouts during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The setting reflects the rugged character of this part of Bohuslän, with granite outcroppings and coastal vegetation typical of the region's maritime landscape. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, incorporating elevation changes and rock formations that define the playing corridors. Holes move through a mix of forested sections and more open terrain, where wind off the water can influence club selection and strategy. The design emphasizes position over pure length, rewarding players who navigate the layout's natural features rather than simply overpowering it. Strömstad serves as a regional course for both members and visitors exploring Sweden's west coast golf offerings. The club operates within the traditions common to Swedish golf culture, where accessibility and straightforward hospitality are valued. The town itself is a summer destination known for its seafood and proximity to the Norwegian fjords, making the course part of a broader coastal experience rather than a standalone golf destination.
