Arkanastad Golf

The Arlandastad Golf club where this week's Scandinavian Masters is set to be played, is conveniently located just minutes from Arlanda International Airport, some 35 kilometres from Stockholm, Sweden.

A private club where full members own shares in the club, Arlandastad Golf has two championship courses, The Masters, where the European Tour's 42nd tournament this season tees off on Thursday, and the New Course.

It also has a 9-hole floodlight course and a 4-hole practice course strictly reserved for members.

COURSES

The Masters Course
Designed by Sune Linde and Peter Chamberlain, this flat parkland course was opened in 1993 as a par 70,

Exposed to the wind and rain and with water hazards on twelve holes, The Masters Course is considered to be a rigorous challenge for golfers of all handicap levels.

It's greens, which have bent and poa grass are very true and smooth, it's Poa, bent and festuca-grassed fairways, though normally generous, are narrowed considerably for championship events and its Poa pratensis, rye grass and festuca rough is grown to 90mm.

An unusual feature of the course is that three of its first five holes are par 3's.

The New Course:
The par 71 New Course was opened in August 2001 and a good many club members consider it be the more difficult of Arlandastadt's two courses.

It is similar to an inland links thanks to its general layout and, especially, to the type of bunkering used to guard the greens.

Measuring 5,868 yards from the members tee and 4,850 from the forward tee, the New Course is shorter than the Masters Course, but because of its narrower fairways and the hazardous rough, is living proof that you don't necessarily need courses of over 7.000 yards to provide a stern test.

The Floodlight Course
Arlandastad Golf has a 1.600-yard, 9-hole, floodlight course consisting of two par fours and seven par threes. At par 29, this lighted course is an ideal place for after work practice or after dinner family fun, especially in the fall and early spring months.

The Practice Course
For the members of Arlandastad Golf there is a practice facility of four par 3 holes.
