Book your next golf trip to Ålands Golfklubb! With two 18-hole courses, Slottsbanan and Kungsbanan, as well as the short-hole course Prinsessan, Ålands GK is the optimal golf course for everyone.
For two years, Åland Golf Club rebuilt its seaside 18-hole course Slottsbanan and in the summer of 2020 the completely renovated course opened. The course has also been chosen as one of the courses for a round of the Ladies European Tour, which will be played in the fall of 2022, so the course will be a championship course.
The club hired Danish course architect Philip Spogárd to develop a new master plan for the course.
Spogárd concluded that the Slottsundet bay should be better utilized, so that the course runs along the water in a more thoughtful way. He planned the course so that the water plays a much bigger role in the game than before.
One example of this is the new holes 9 and 10, which are right next to Slottsundet. There you can - if you dare - hit over the water to shorten the distance to the flag.
Another big change is that you can now see the sea from all 18 holes. There are also many places on the course where you have a fantastic view of the medieval Kastelholm Castle on the other side of the bay. After the rebuilding, ÅGK really takes advantage of its unique environment to 110 percent.

Tactics are becoming more important
Only one of the 18 new holes on the Castle Course is on land where there was no golf course before. The other holes have been laid out where the old course was, but still the change is huge.
- In some cases, two old holes have been merged to create a new longer hole, and in some cases an old long hole has become two shorter holes. New tees and more undulating greens have been built and the possibilities for tactics have increased. It is possible to play the same hole in several different ways depending on how good a golfer you are," says Nordström.
