Väddö Golfklubb

Väddö Golfklubb sits on Väddö island in the Stockholm archipelago, roughly 90 kilometers north of central Stockholm. The course was designed by Peter Chamberlain and Carl Torstensson, both Swedish architects who have worked on several layouts in the region. The setting takes advantage of the natural terrain characteristic of this part of coastal Sweden, where forest, rock outcroppings, and relatively modest elevation changes shape the playing corridors. The routing moves through pine and mixed woodland typical of the archipelago landscape, with holes carved from the forest and occasional glimpses of the surrounding water and island topography. The design reflects a straightforward approach to golf in this environment, where accuracy off the tee and course management matter more than raw distance. The natural features—trees, rock formations, and uneven lies—provide the primary defense and character. Väddö Golfklubb serves the local community and visitors exploring the Stockholm archipelago during the warmer months. The club operates in a region where golf is a seasonal activity, with the course typically open from spring through autumn. The facility offers a relatively quiet alternative to busier Stockholm-area courses, appealing to those who appreciate a more remote setting and the distinctive landscape of Sweden's island communities.
