Stockholm’s Golfklubb is known for keeping everything up to standard and in an impeccable condition. “We love that we are able to focus on good golfing opportunities to players, much thanks to the well run machinery that is the staff we hire to keep the grounds. This truly is a green, fresh, oasis next to Stockholm City.”
thrilled to see that we are continuing in the same direction.” A dignified profile Even though Kevingebanan is a central course, merely a stones throw from Stockholm City, Stockholm’s Golfklubb keeps a low profile. “We never kick up any fuss,” says Johansson. “We like to keep a dignified and respectful approach to both the club’s traditions but also to our members. This is a place of peace, tranquility and good golf, something our players appreciate.”
Indeed they should. During its lifetime, Stockholm’s Golfklubb has fostered a long line of elite players on the very highest of levels of the sport. “It is however, very important to know that although we might be seen as a conservative kind of establishment, we are always welcoming anyone wanting to come for some good play at a first class golf course,” Johansson stresses. “We have some exclusive features, but we are never excluding when it comes to people stopping by. No one is born a golfer. It is a difficult sport in itself and it takes immense hours of practice to become good at it. We appreciate and encourage that. Everyone is very welcome, regardless what level their play is on, or what background they have. If you like the game, you should feel free to stop by.”
In addition to being a go-to place for superb golf conditions, the club also offers their guests and members a range of social opportunities and activities. In their well-stocked golf shop visitors are free to add on to their existing golf arsenal with fittings and consulting for both clothes and clubs, as well as a wide variety of accessories and necessities for a comfortable and well equipped round on the course. Stockholm’s Golfklubb is sporting fresh and modern locker rooms, a bridge room and a large restaurant where mouth-watering dishes offer a nice break from the time spent practicing and playing outside. “We take care of the people who come here, no matter if they are members or just stopping by for a day,” Johansson says. “Everyone has the same rights and responsibilities and we make sure that they all equally get exactly what they are here for: fantastic golf in a fantastic place.” For more information, please visit: www.stockholmsgolfklubb.se
Superb golf conditions This year, Kevingebanan and the golf club are both in a splendid condition. “The people who tend to the course, land and our facilities are true pros,” Johansson adds proudly. “If you want to keep a good golf course, a good layout is far from enough.”
