Lysekils Golfklubb

Lysekils Golfklubb sits on the Bohuslän coast of western Sweden, a region defined by glacially scoured granite, sparse windswept pines, and saltwater inlets that push deep into the landscape. Brastad is a small community just inland from Lysekil itself, a traditional fishing and former glassworks town facing the open Gullmarsfjord — the only true fjord in Sweden proper. Playing golf here means operating in that same raw coastal geography, where the terrain does much of the design work and the Baltic light in summer lingers well past 10 in the evening.

The course occupies land shaped by the ice age rather than a bulldozer, meaning natural rock outcroppings, heather, and undulating ground frame the holes rather than manicured artifice. It is the kind of club that draws on a genuine sense of community — a members' course serving a relatively small coastal population, where the game feels unhurried and connected to the landscape around it.

Bohuslän as a whole is a rewarding golf destination for visitors traveling Sweden's western coastal route, with several clubs spread across the archipelago terrain between Gothenburg and the Norwegian border. Lysekil's course fits that regional character well — unpretentious, scenically honest, and worth a round for anyone exploring this stretch of coastline.
