Åtvidabergs Golfklubb

Åtvidabergs Golfklubb sits in the Östergötland region of southeastern Sweden, in the small industrial town of Åtvidaberg. The course was designed by Douglas Brasier and Peter Nordwall, combining international design principles with local Swedish landscape sensibilities. The layout takes advantage of the natural terrain characteristic of this part of Sweden, where gentle rolling topography and mixed woodland create a parkland setting typical of inland Scandinavian golf. The routing moves through forested sections and more open areas, requiring players to manage different wind exposures and shot shapes throughout the round. The design incorporates natural features and vegetation native to the region, with pine and birch trees framing many holes. Water features appear on several holes, adding strategic interest to club selection and approach play. Åtvidaberg itself is known historically as a copper mining town and later for its industrial heritage, giving the club a connection to the local community and regional identity. The course serves both members and visitors exploring golf in Östergötland, a province with several established clubs. The layout provides a straightforward test of golf suited to the Swedish climate, where the playing season runs from spring through autumn and conditions favor firm, fast-running fairways during summer months.
