About this course
Vimmerby Golfklubb sits in the Småland region of southeastern Sweden, in the town best known as the birthplace of author Astrid Lindgren. The course was designed by Gunnar Nyberg, a Swedish architect who worked on numerous layouts across Scandinavia during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The design reflects the characteristic Småland landscape of rolling forested terrain, granite outcroppings, and small lakes that define this part of Sweden. The routing moves through mixed woodland and open farmland, with elevation changes that are modest but meaningful in shaping the playing corridors and strategic options. Nyberg's work typically emphasizes playability for members while incorporating natural features into the design, and Vimmerby follows this approach with holes that use the existing topography rather than extensive earthmoving. Water comes into play on several holes, and the granite bedrock common to the region appears in places around the property. The club serves the local community and visitors to the area, many of whom come to explore the Astrid Lindgren-themed attractions nearby. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in a quiet, forested setting typical of inland Swedish courses, where the focus remains on maintaining a welcoming environment for regular play rather than tournament competition or national rankings.
