The National

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the main difference between The National's Lakes and Links courses?

We've played both, and they offer distinct challenges. The Lakes course is a true parkland beauty, demanding precision with water in play on many holes, while the Links course gives you that classic open, windswept feel with strategic bunkering and firm fairways. You'll want to experience both for a full taste of Swedish golf.

When is the best time of year to play The National in Sweden?

For the best conditions and longest daylight hours, we highly recommend visiting between late May and early September. Swedish summers are glorious, offering comfortable temperatures and plenty of time for a leisurely round, sometimes even two. Just be sure to book your tee times well in advance, as it gets busy.

What should I know about getting to The National and staying nearby?

The National is conveniently located near Malmö, making it easily accessible by car from Copenhagen or Malmö airports. While there's no on-site accommodation, you'll find excellent hotel options in Malmö itself, offering a great base for exploring the city after your round. We always suggest staying in Malmö for the full experience.

Is playing The National worth the green fee, and what can I expect?

Absolutely, it's a premium experience and the green fees reflect that, but you're paying for world-class conditioning and a meticulously maintained facility. You'll find top-notch practice areas, excellent service, and a clubhouse that's perfect for unwinding after your round. It's an investment in a memorable golf day.

What's a must-see or signature hole at The National that I shouldn't miss?

On the Links course, the par-3 17th is a standout, often playing into the wind and demanding a precise shot over a deep bunker to a tricky green. Over on the Lakes course, the par-5 18th is a fantastic finishing hole, requiring strategic play around water to reach the clubhouse in style. Both are truly memorable.
