Golf in Sweden ...
Skane, Sweden's golfing Mecca, will be at this year's London Golf Show at Excel 26-29 April 2007. Come and find out the latest golfing news at stand 1562 e. No other region in Scandinavia has so many golf courses, with such variety, within an hours' drive of one another. A string of seaside courses can be found around the three coasts of Skane, as well as inland, and the gently undulating countryside accommodates a host of parkland, heathland and woodland courses so you?re sure to find one to suit you.

Being located in the southern tip of Sweden, Skane offers a lovely mild climate enabling most courses to stay open all year, with many using their summer greens throughout the winter.

Of the 70 golf courses in the region, 11 have been invited to join the Golf in Skane Project, which was initiated by the local tourist board in the spring of 2004. Participating clubs, which can be booked up to four months in advance, must satisfy a number of criteria before being allowed to join, therefore ensuring visitors enjoy the highest levels of service and quality. One of these courses is Barseb?ck, a mere 20 minutes from Malm?, which is considered the best course in Sweden and host to the European and Solheim Cups.

Golf in Skane has also collaborated with another project, Culinary Skane, involving 27 of the region's best restaurants so players can enjoy top class cuisine while honing their skills on the green.

Colin Montgomerie, Annika S?renstam and many other big names have all played golf in Skane, so why not join them?

Title: Lilla Vik golf

Location: Vik, ?sterlen

Region: Sk?ne

Description: This spectacular old course is laid out as a parkland course by the sea. The course is shielded to the left by shrubberies and trees, which gives it a secluded feeling. At times, despite the sea below, you can hear a pin drop, or more to the point, the resounding bang of your ball hitting a tree.
