Ekerums golfbana

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play Ekerums golfbana for ideal conditions?

You'll find Ekerum truly shines from late May through August. The long daylight hours mean you can play well into the evening, and the weather is generally at its warmest and most stable. We recommend booking your tee times well in advance for this peak season, especially if you're aiming for a weekend round.

What makes Ekerums golf experience distinct from other Swedish courses?

Ekerum stands out because of its Öland setting, offering a unique blend of parkland and coastal influences. You'll notice the distinct limestone bedrock and the occasional sea breeze, especially on Långe Jan, which adds a strategic challenge you won't always find inland. It's a true island golf experience, not just another forest course.

How challenging are Ekerums two courses, Långe Jan and Långe Erik, for different handicaps?

Långe Jan is generally the more demanding of the two, with its exposed fairways and strategic bunkering requiring precise shot-making, making it a good test for lower handicappers. Långe Erik is a bit more forgiving and offers wider landing areas, making it an excellent choice if you're looking for a more relaxed round or are a higher handicapper. Both are beautifully maintained, but Jan will definitely make you think more.

Are there good dining options or other activities to enjoy at Ekerum after a round?

Absolutely, Ekerum offers more than just golf; their restaurant serves up excellent local fare, often featuring fresh ingredients from Öland. You should definitely explore the island's unique nature reserves and historical sites, like Borgholm Castle, which are just a short drive away. It's easy to make a full day or even a weekend trip out of your visit here.

What should I expect regarding green fees and value at Ekerums golfbana?

Green fees at Ekerum are competitive for a course of this quality in Sweden, typically ranging from 700-900 SEK during peak season. You're getting excellent value for money here, considering the immaculate course conditions, the beautiful Öland scenery, and the overall high-end facilities.
