Hammarö

After one of the most recognized and most prolific course designers, Sune Linde, supervised the completion of his work, Hammarö golf course opened its 18 holes for play in 1991. The course is a varied, slightly hilly forest and parkland course with par 71 where, most of all, the first 13 holes are lined by beautiful Värmland pine forest. Besides pines, the course is characterized by a handful of plateau greens that can provide really interesting situations. Also characteristic of the course is that relatively early season start thanks to the proximity to Lake Vänern. In 2005 a short-hole course with eight exiting holes from 45-95 metres adjacent to the clubhouse area was completed. The short-hole course, which is of excellent quality, is a fitting pastime while waiting for your tee time or for honing accuracy of your approach. In June 2006, four rebuilt tees were opened and it was the premier of hole18 as a par 4-hole.The closing hole is thus a rather long challenge (360 / 320 m from the yellow / red tee) with an exciting approach over the water. On every hole there is a sprinkler lid with the distance to both the front edge and the centre of the green. The course guide, which can be purchased at the reception, also provides useful distances to the various obstacles and natural objects, as well as waving pictures and measurement of the green areas.
