Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Kalmar län?

We always recommend visiting Kalmar län during the Swedish summer, from late May through August. You'll experience incredibly long daylight hours, sometimes playing until 10 PM, and the courses are in peak condition. Just be prepared for potential summer showers - pack a good rain jacket.

What kind of golf courses should I expect in Kalmar län?

Kalmar län offers a fantastic mix, but you'll find a strong emphasis on parkland and forest courses, often with a coastal influence. Don't miss the courses on Öland island, like Ekerum Golf & Resort, which provide stunning Baltic Sea views and a unique island golf experience. Many courses here are beautifully integrated into the natural Swedish landscape.

Is golfing in Kalmar län an expensive trip compared to other European destinations?

While Sweden generally isn't a budget destination, we find the value in Kalmar län to be excellent. Green fees are reasonable, often ranging from 500-800 SEK, especially if you book packages. Accommodation can vary, but you'll find charming guesthouses and hotels that offer good value, particularly outside peak July.

What makes a golf trip to Kalmar län unique beyond just the courses?

The region's unique charm lies in its blend of coastal beauty, historical sites, and the relaxed Swedish "fika" culture. After your round, explore Kalmar Castle, visit the glass kingdom, or simply enjoy the archipelago. It's a perfect destination for combining quality golf with genuine cultural immersion and scenic drives.

Do I need a car to get around and access the golf courses in Kalmar län?

Absolutely, we strongly recommend renting a car for your Kalmar län golf adventure. While some courses are near towns, many of the best gems are spread out, and public transport isn't practical for reaching them. A car gives you the freedom to explore the diverse courses and charming towns at your own pace.
