Golf in Västernorrland County

Further inland, the setting changes. Hussborg's 18 holes lie in a green manor landscape near Ljungaverk, where the older cultural surroundings give the round a different tone from the coast. Sollefteå Golf Club also has 18 holes, but near Långsele the course alternates between open ground and gently undulating woodland. The hole count is the same, yet the surroundings make the courses easy to distinguish.

Three clear alternatives lie around Sundsvall. Skön Golf has 12 holes, an unusual middle ground between a nine and an 18-hole round. Sundsvall Golf Club at Kvissleby devotes the visit to one complete 18-hole course. Öjestrand Golf Club in Njurunda instead combines 18 holes with a separate nine-hole short course. Within a relatively small area, golfers can therefore choose 12 holes, one uninterrupted full round, or long and short courses at the same place.

The county suits players who consider both landscape and hole count. Norrfällsviken brings sea, woodland and a more open coastal feel. Hussborg carries its manor surroundings, while Sollefteå lets the forest and gently rolling ground shape the round. Veckefjärden and Öjestrand allow a group to choose different hole counts without travelling in separate directions.

A journey through Västernorrland can consequently move from coast to inland while also changing the hole count. Skön's 12 holes stand on their own, and the shorter courses at Veckefjärden and Öjestrand are genuine numbered courses. Golfers seeking a complete 18-hole day have several landscapes to choose from. The county's variety appears in the pace of its rounds, its views and its surroundings.
