The course consists of 18 holes set in a picturesque forest and field environment. The fairways are bordered by woods, bunkers, and ponds, creating an interesting and challenging course.
Here, everyone can enjoy a varied and challenging experience surrounded by stunning nature and rich wildlife. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing round or a tough challenge, the course has something for all golfers.
"Golf should be fun, even if you don’t hit the ball very far. From tee 1, for example, the total course length is 3,300 meters, while from tee 4, it’s approximately 5,800 meters," says Mats Wahlin, chairman of the course committee. Out on the course, it’s primarily the diverse and well-maintained green areas that capture attention. Fast and smooth greens along with challenging runoff areas provide golfers with extraordinary challenges.
Beautiful Nature and Rich Wildlife
A distinctive feature of Eckerö Golf is its flat terrain, making it easy to walk. The first nine holes are set in an open landscape, while the back nine wind through the forest.
"You experience great variety in both scenery and wildlife as you walk the course," Wahlin explains, adding that players may spot pheasants, deer, white-tailed eagles, pine trees, and dark tarns while golfing.
Take a break before, after, or between your rounds. By the reception, you’ll find a kiosk offering coffee, ice cream, beer, sandwiches, and more.
