Perspective
The club, overlooking the Öresund strait, was founded in 1969 on the grounds of Barsebäck Castle by count Ian Hamilton and his wife Marianne. It was purchased in 1974 by Gösta Carlsson who developed the facility into one of the top golfing facilities in Sweden.[1]
The club has two 18-hole courses, the 73-par Ocean Course (formerly Masters Course) finished in 1969 and designed by Ture Bruce, and the 71-par Pine Course (formerly Donald Steel Course) finished in 1989 and designed by Donald Steel, as well as a 9-hole course, Litorina.
In 2007, Annika Sörenstam hosted a Ladies European Tour competition named Scandinavian TPC hosted by Annika, played on the Masters Course August 9–12.[2] The club first hosted the Scandinavian Masters in 1992. At the tenth installment in 2017 as many as 86,100 visitors saw 20-year-old Renato Paratore win the tournament.[1]
A number of successful golfer have represented the club, including Louise Stahle, Caroline Hedwall and Henrik Stenson. The bag Stenson used when he won both the FedEx Cup Playoffs and the Race to Dubai in 2013 is on display in a glass case in the clubhouse.[3]
In 2019, a 28 years old greenkeeper died after driving his lawn mower into a water hazard.[4]
Gösta Carlsson died in 2018 at the age of 99.[1] In 2020 his descendants sold the facility to Ernst Rosén, owner and operator of Vallda Golf & Country Club.[5][6]
The resort (renovated 2022) includes a 36 room hotel, 28 houses for golfers and a restaurant under Michelin Guide awarded chef Karim Khouani.
