Description

The golf course in Björkliden is located high in the mountain landscape, 250 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. Here, it is not only the greens that require attention. Torneträsk is located below the line, Lapporten characterizes the horizon and the ore trains along the railway are visible from parts of the area.

The course has nine greens and 18 tees, and the terrain provides clear variation throughout the round. Narrow fairways, mountain birches, water hazards, ravines and large level differences make precision and choice of shots a central part of the experience. On one of the holes, the height difference from tee to green is around 70 meters.

The Lapporten hole is located at the highest point of the course, with a view of Torneträsk, Abisko and Lapporten. Swedish Golf's editorial staff has included this verdict in their list of Sweden's 25 most beautiful golf holes.

The golf history in Björkliden stretches far back. Work on a golf course on the site began as early as 1929, while the current course was completed in 1989 according to drawings by Sune Linde. The golf course in Björkliden is considered Sweden's northernmost golf course.
