Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Tofta Golf, and what's it like playing golf on Gotland?

Getting to Tofta Golf means first getting to Gotland, usually by ferry from Nynäshamn or Oskarshamn, or a short flight to Visby. Once you're on the island, you'll find a relaxed, almost timeless atmosphere that perfectly complements your round. Playing golf here feels like a true escape, with the sea breeze and unique island landscape as your constant companions.

What are the standout features and biggest challenges of playing Tofta Golf?

Tofta Golf truly stands out with its genuine links-style character, which is a rarity in Sweden. The biggest challenge you'll face is undoubtedly the wind, which can shift dramatically and demand creative shot-making, especially on the exposed holes near the coast. We particularly love the strategic bunkering and the way the course blends seamlessly into the natural Gotland terrain.

When is the best time of year to visit Tofta Golf for optimal playing conditions?

We highly recommend visiting Tofta Golf during the summer months, from late May through August, for the best playing conditions. You'll enjoy long daylight hours, often stretching late into the evening, and the course will be at its driest and firmest. Just be prepared for the occasional strong sea breeze, which is part of the authentic experience here.

What can I expect regarding green fees and facilities at Tofta Golf?

You'll find Tofta Golf offers a fair value for such a unique island links experience, with green fees generally in line with other quality Swedish courses. The facilities are practical and welcoming, including a well-stocked pro shop and a cozy restaurant where you can grab a post-round meal. Don't expect lavish luxury, but rather a genuine, golfer-focused atmosphere.

What unique local experiences should I combine with a golf trip to Tofta?

Beyond the greens, Gotland offers so much to explore, and we strongly suggest making time for it. You absolutely must wander through the medieval walled city of Visby, a UNESCO World Heritage site, for its history and charm. Also, seek out some of the island's stunning rauks - unique limestone sea stacks - and enjoy the beautiful, rugged coastline for a truly memorable trip.
