The Grand Hôtel in Stockholm has been home to celebrities, high-profile events and everyday bon-vivants since 1874. Situated in the best waterfront location imaginable, the hotel overlooks the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s old town. The Grand is also home to the classic Swedish Veranda restaurant, renowned for its traditional smörgåsbord, Mathias Dahlgren’s award-winning restaurants and the spectacular Cadier Bar. For recreation, there’s the Nordic Spa & Fitness club with hot saunas and pools.
Bro Hof Slott is a world class golf club with courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr., one of the world’s top golf course designers. The club is stunningly beautiful and situated in an old cultural landscape, directly on Lake Mälaren and crowned by the renovated Bro Hof Castle. Every detail has been trimmed to perfection – a word synonymous with everyone involved in its creation.
From the clubhouse you look out over The Stadium Course which was opened in 2007. With long holes, large greens, considerable water, large and well-placed bunkers, not to mention the gusting winds, the Stadium Course is a unique challenge. The Course acts as a lakeside path around Lake Mälaren and suits all categories of golfers with a range of tees. From the yellow and red tees the course is alluring and welcoming and invites attacking golf, but from the white tees a more demanding and trying experience awaits. From the black tees, reserved for competitions and professionals, the course measures a breathtaking 8,056 yards.
The Castle Course opened in the summer of 2010. Designed to inherit the same quality as the Stadium Course but offer a very different challenge, the Castle Course evokes elements of a Scottish links. The natural environment is very diverse and features less wind and water, but more trees, smaller and tougher bunkers and narrower fairways. The Castle Course doesn’t use black tees and is therefore a shorter test than that of her sister, but don’t let that fool you.
