GENERAL INFORMATION
Upsala Golf Club was founded in 1937 making it the 22nd oldest club out of 460 in the Swedish
Golf Federation. In 1964 the club moved to Håmö. The present location is an old farm probably
dating back to the Stone Age. Around the club house there are severe restrictions on building
and exploitation due to traces of a Neolithic civilisation. Originally the club had one 18-hole
course. In 1978 a second 9-hole course was built and 2001 yet another 9-hole course.
In 2008-2010, the Old Course was renovated and rebuilt by Bob Kains -
a renovation which was awarded second prize in the ”World’s Best
Redesigns” by Golf Inc.
The club has hosted several championships, most noteworthy the
European Boys’ Team Championship 1999.
We are proud to welcome EGA and the next generation of European superstars of golf to Upsala
GC and the European Ladies’ Team Championship 2020!
