Golf in Dalarna County

Further south, both scenery and the shape of a golf day change. Mora Golf Club combines an 18-hole woodland course with a separate nine-hole short course. Furudals Bruks Golf Club also has a full course, but its shorter alternative contains six holes. Golfers wanting fewer than 18 holes do not face the same option everywhere. Mora has a nine among the trees; Furudal condenses the round into six holes.

Around Falun and Borlänge, the range widens again. Samuelsdal consists of two named nine-hole courses, Långa banan and Korta banan. Falun-Borlänge Golf Club has the 18-hole Aspebodabanan, while Dalsjö Golf pairs an 18-hole course with the six-hole Lilla banan. Within a relatively small area, players can choose two separate nines, one continuous full course, or long and short rounds at the same place.

The common thread is each course's closeness to the Dalarna landscape. The mountain courses at Sälen and Idre differ from Mora's woodland golf and the smaller courses near Falun. Hole counts range from six to 18, but the surroundings matter just as much: upland streams and open views in the north, tree-lined rounds and compact courses further south.

Dalarna therefore suits golfers who want both terrain and time on the course to shape the journey. A complete mountain round asks for a different kind of day from six holes at Furudal or nine at Mora. Samuelsdal makes two nines the main attraction, while Dalsjö places a short course beside 18 holes. The smaller courses are not incomplete versions of the larger ones, but clear alternatives for a different kind of golf day.
