Skytteholm, Sweden
18 holes
Malaro is a classic inland links course with few water hazards, many bunkers and fast greens. Architect Tommy Nordstrom was always inspired by traditional British links and heathland golf courses and used this inspiration in his work whenever the land permitted. Malaro Golf Club actively promotes the ground game and wind is almost always a factor when playing the course. The loop has a large variation in hole lengths and provides good opportunities for good scorers, but at the same time ruthlessly punishes the slightest mistake. Hole 17 is a real gem that has been voted one of Sweden's 100 best holes by the magazine Svensk Golf and is unsurprisingly the course's signature hole.
