In 2016 it sold a parcel of land to real estate developers, which enabled it to invest $25 million in a major revamp of the facilities.Henrik Stenson Golf Design was commissioned to create one of the finest golfing facilities in Scandinavia, drawing on inspiration from Le Nationale andTPC Sawgrass.[3]
Construction of the new East course begun in 2016 and was completed in 2018, now renamedÖster by Stenson. The West course will open after remodeling in 2022.[4] Following the revampSvensk Golf, official publication of theSwedish Golf Federation, in 2020 ranked the Öster by Stenson course #8 in Sweden using theGolf Digest methodology.[5][6]
