FACTS GOLF COURSES
LÅNGE JAN
Opened: New extension 2003.
Course designer: Peter Nordwall.
Length, yellow tee: 5,991 metre.
Red tee: 5,030 metre.
Par: 73.
Rating: Park and forest course. Three of the nine new holes are here. All new holes located in forest terrain. This means that the new holes do not have as equally wide fairways as the old ones.
LÅNGE ERIK
Opened: New extension 2003
Course designer: Peter Nordwall
Length, yellow tee 5,829 metre
Red tee: 4,868 metre
Par: 72
Rating: The remaining six new holes are here. No, there are no "Nordwall-greens" on the new holes, that is to say, large and undulating. The new holes are normal-sized greens, perhaps to the delight of some...
One hundred percent golf
It feels cramped certain summer days at Ekerum. Changed tee off times and the weather that helps around the course has improved the situation – but a few have become irritated by arriving at a tee only to realize that there are three groups of four golfers that are standing there waiting.
That problem has hopefully been constructed away. In spring 2003 thirty-six holes were ready in Ekerum. The old 18-hole course, the old 9-hole course and the 9 new holes designed by the spectacular course designer Peter Nordvall have been mixed freely.
The result, Long Jan (par 73) and Long Erik (par 72), will make sure that not even in July will there be hopelessly long queues. Long Erik’s twelfth hole - par 4, a bit dogleg left – has all the prerequisites to end up on lists of the country’s best and most spectacular holes.
What applies, from the yellow tee, is to drive over a little small woodland mere and land on the land castle edge – the limestone plateau that runs along western Öland and reminds you of the ice age – to avoid the boll ending up in one of the large bunkers or rolling on the slope down to the left where an equally difficultly played and beautiful key biotope tempts you.
It’s one hundred percent golf that matters on Öland.
"Many don’t know that we are open year round with ordinary greens. I would say that September, October and November are wonderful golf months here,” say course manager Susanne Lindström.
That more and more are discovering autumn golf and winter golf on the island ensure that the seventy flats on Ekerum, that are located in a little white British inspired row along the fairway of Long Jan, are now let for self-catering accommodation even when the restaurant and the other facilities are closed for winter renovation.
July evenings, when many families with children usually live there and sandboxes and swings are put out, the view is otherwise fantastic with everyone sitting on the patios along the fairway grilling...
...to then rush away and play the short hole course in the evening sun.
Late summer 2003 Ekerum Golf & Resort concentrated heavily on women. The ambition is to be Sweden’s best golf course for women.
Golf on Öland is not just Ekerum any more.
Grönhögens GK on the island’s southern part has 18 holes of link type and many speak warmly about Saxnä’s GK, almost by the bridge abutment.
There are also several 9-hole courses with different levels of ambition. Many of them are already being built or are being planned to be built.
