Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play International GC and what should I expect from the weather?

Sweden means summer golf, plain and simple. We recommend late June to early August for the best conditions and those incredible long daylight hours - you can practically play until midnight. Expect pleasant temperatures, but always pack a light rain jacket; Swedish summers can be unpredictable.

How challenging is International GC for an average golfer, especially given its 6500m length?

Don't let the 6500m length from the tips intimidate you too much; Luthman and Johansson designed it with playability in mind from various tees. You'll find generous fairways on many holes, but the real test comes around the greens, which are often subtly contoured and demand precise approaches. It's a fair challenge, not a brutal one.

What makes International GC stand out from other courses in Sweden, and are there any signature holes I should look forward to?

What truly sets International GC apart is its clever use of the natural Swedish landscape, creating a links-like feel without being on the coast. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, where the green is tucked into a natural amphitheater, and the dramatic finishing stretch from 16 onwards, which demands your best strategic play. It's a masterclass in inland links design.

What kind of facilities and amenities can I expect at International GC, and is it easy to get to?

The clubhouse at International GC is modern and welcoming, offering a well-stocked pro shop and a restaurant with fantastic views over the course - perfect for a post-round meal. Getting there is straightforward; it's typically a short drive from a major city or airport, making it an accessible day trip or part of a longer golf tour. We always recommend booking your tee time well in advance, especially during peak season.

Is International GC good value for money compared to other top courses in Sweden?

Absolutely, we think International GC offers excellent value for the quality of golf you get. While green fees are on par with other premier Swedish courses, the immaculate conditioning and thoughtful design by Luthman and Johansson make every krona feel well-spent. It's an experience that consistently delivers a memorable round without feeling overpriced.
