Looking to play the best golf courses in Sweden? GolfReviewsGuide.com picks out the top courses to play in Sweden.

Despite being a country with a lot of winter sports, Sweden also has a great reputation for golf tourism and has a rich history of success in the sport too.

As a northern Nordic country, there is plenty of daylight in the summertime and the golf season runs from May to October.

The winters are harsh in Sweden, however, there are some pockets with mild temperatures and a little bit of extra length to the season. Expect a huge annual range of temperatures in this country.

In our list, perhaps the best-known architect is Robert Trent Jones. He designed a course in the Stockholm area that has an exceptional length.

Most of the venues in our best golf courses in Sweden list are from this century, with only one course dating prior to 1990 for a construction date.

Nils Sköld, Peter Nordwall, Adam Mednick and Pierre Fulke are the architects who have worked on this island course. The latter pair performed a fairly recent rebuild in 2009.
