Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to plan a golf trip to Västra Götaland?

We recommend late May through early September for the best conditions. You'll enjoy incredibly long daylight hours, often playing until 10 PM in mid-summer, and the courses are in peak shape. Expect mild, comfortable temperatures, perfect for walking the fairways without breaking too much of a sweat.

What kind of golf courses will I find in Västra Götaland? Are they mostly links?

You'll discover a fantastic mix here, not just links. While the coast offers some stunning, windswept layouts with sea views, head inland and you'll find beautifully maintained parkland courses winding through forests and lakes. It's a region that truly caters to every style of play, from challenging championship tracks to charming, relaxed local gems.

How does the cost of golf in Västra Götaland compare to other European destinations?

We find Västra Götaland offers excellent value for money, especially when compared to the UK or Ireland. Green fees are generally very reasonable, often ranging from 500-900 SEK ($50-$90 USD) for a prime-time round at a top course. You get fantastic course quality without the premium price tag, leaving more budget for post-round fika.

What should we do when we're not on the golf course in Västra Götaland?

Don't miss exploring Gothenburg, a vibrant city with great food, shopping, and the Liseberg amusement park. We also love hopping on a ferry to explore the stunning archipelago islands, perfect for a relaxing day trip. It's a region that blends urban charm with incredible natural beauty, so you'll always find something to do.

Is it easy to get around Västra Götaland to visit different golf courses?

Absolutely, we highly recommend renting a car for maximum flexibility. The roads are excellent, and it makes reaching some of the more secluded, fantastic courses much easier. Public transport is good in and around Gothenburg, but a car lets you truly explore the breadth of golf Västra Götaland has to offer.
