The best new golf destination. 

by Josh Sens

Sweden, land of meatballs and Muppet chefs, has a new claim to fame: It’s the new golf capital of the world. In a bid to land the Ryder Cup in 2018, this golf-mad nation (which claims to have more players per capita than any other country on Earth) has christened a collection of spit-shined courses to rival the finest layouts in the world. The latest and greatest is the Tournament Course at Vasatorps, a killer track on Sweden’s southern tip, designed by acclaimed architect Steve Forrest. Vasatorps was built to test the game’s best players, but it’s perfect for the avid amateur. The price is right, in summer it’s light until midnight, and the cart girls aren’t half bad. $77–$84; vasatorpsgk.se
