You'll want to aim for late May through early September. The long Swedish summer days mean you can play well into the evening, and the courses are in prime condition, offering lush fairways and fast greens. Avoid the shoulder seasons if you're looking for guaranteed sunshine and warmth.

What kind of golf courses can I expect to find in Östergötlands län, and are there any must-plays?

You'll discover a fantastic mix, predominantly well-maintained parkland and forest courses that blend beautifully with the natural Swedish landscape. We highly recommend Linköpings Golfklubb for its classic design and Motala Golfklubb for its scenic lakeside holes – they really capture the region's charm. Expect challenging but fair layouts that reward thoughtful play.
