Rättviks Golfklubb

Few Swedish courses frame the game quite like Rättviks Golfklubb, which sits along the eastern shore of Lake Siljan in the heart of Dalarna — arguably the most culturally resonant landscape in all of Sweden. The Siljan region is where Swedish folk tradition runs deepest, surrounded by red-painted farmhouses, midsummer celebrations, and the kind of pine-and-birch forest that defines the country's interior. Playing golf here means doing it against a backdrop that feels genuinely Nordic rather than imported.

The course works with the natural contours of the lakeshore terrain, where views across Siljan open up regularly during a round. The combination of mature woodland, gentle elevation changes, and those periodic water panoramas gives Rättviks a character that goes well beyond its modest footprint — it rewards unhurried play and attention to the environment as much as attention to the scorecard.

Rättvik itself is a small town built around tourism tied to the lake, making this a natural stop for visitors exploring Dalarna's summer circuit. The club has a relaxed, community-rooted feel typical of Swedish provincial golf — welcoming to guests, unpretentious, and genuinely proud of its exceptional natural setting.
