Ullna Golf & Country Club is a golf club situated 20 km north ofStockholm on the shore of Lake Ullna in the municipality ofÖsteråker,Sweden. The premier championship venue in the region at the time, it hosted theScandinavian Enterprise Open on theEuropean Tour 1983–1987.[1]
Opened in 1981, the course was conceived and designed bySven Tumba with the aim of hosting international competitions of the highest level.Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland officially inaugurated the course on 27 August 1981.[2]
Ullna has been consistently ranked as one of the finest courses in Sweden, and had until the mid-1990s, an unrivaled position as the best course in the Stockholm area. In the SwedishGolf Digest 2005 ranking of Swedish courses, it was ranked 11th. In 2020, following theJack Nicklaus redesign, it ranked 4th.[3] Ullna is famous for its beautiful setting. It is unique in its proximity to open water, with 6 of the 18 holes stretched along the waterfront. In 2005, course manager Magnus Adén was awarded Swedish Greenkeeper of the Year. Part of the jury’s motivation was “Ullna, that has always been highly ranked, has under the leadership of Adén, reinforced its position as one of the best and finest managed courses”.
Due to the development of a number of high class golf courses in the Stockholm area in recent decades, Ullna Golf Club is no longer unmatched as the best course in the region.
The club hosted thePGA European Tour eventScandinavian Enterprise Open (SEO) 1983–1987, featuring the biggest European stars of the day. Winners includeSam Torrance (1983) andIan Woosnam (1984). In 1988 theEisenhower Trophy was held at Ullna. Between 1998 and 2001 the club hosted the team match competitionSAS Invitational Match Play featuring stars likeColin Montgomerie,Mark O'Meara,Sergio García,Bernard Langer andTiger Woods.[4]
In recent years, though, the course has not been able to keep up with the rapid development in golf equipment which is making the pros hit the ball further. This has rendered the course too short for the modern pros and due to the limited land area on which it is situated, it is very difficult to lengthen. It is, however, still a superb course for women's competitions, and in 2004, Ullna hosted theLadies European Tour event HP Open, withAnnika Sörenstam as winner.
In November 2022 it was confirmed that the club was selected to host the 2023Scandinavian Mixed, aEuropean Tour andLadies European Tour co-sanctioned event featuring a field of 78 women and 78 men playing for one prize fund and one trophy.[4]
