Top-class golf experiences

Welcome to one of Sweden's best golf hotels! Here, every shot is part of a larger story about a passion for experiences and for giving our guests something beyond the expected. For those seeking answers to certain questions, or who are curious to learn more, we summarise here some rules and information that may be useful to know ahead of your experience.

Give yourself the conditions

Proper preparation creates conditions on the course and enhances the experience. For those of you visiting us to play out on one of our courses, we want you to have the best possible golf experience. To achieve good scores on the course, preparation is required. Therefore, we recommend golfers to arrive at the facility well in advance and carry out a good warm-up. The golf experience therefore starts at our Trackman Range. Read more about how to get more range balls for your money with our free range card.

Choose the right tee

We want to provide the best possible experience, and therefore we no longer have red, blue, yellow, or white tees. We now use hectometre tees. This means you choose how far you want to play the course. Feel free to try different tees depending on the weather, wind, your form of the day, or to get a new experience when playing our courses more than once.

The Lakes Course has seven tees from tee 48 (4840 metres) to tee 68 (6781 metres). The Links Course has six tees from tee 49 (4950 metres) to tee 68 (6835 metres). Depending on your handicap and the day's conditions, you can choose your own tee/difficulty level and have a better golfing experience. If you are unsure which tee suits you, we can provide a recommendation.

Measurements and peg placement

The banana measurement can be found on all sprinkler caps, the distance is to the front edge of the green.

Booking information

During peak season, it is also important that we make optimal use of the available tee times. This may involve, for example, merging 2-balls into a 4-ball. The reception may alter your booking so that your tee time is slightly adjusted and your group is made up to a 4-ball. This system is applied by most clubs with high occupancy. The aim is, of course, to give as many people as possible the chance to play.

The ambition is to move as few tee times as possible and by as few minutes as possible.

All start times must be registered for arrival in the Min Golf app or at reception.

Cancellation Policy – For More Play on Our Courses

At The National, we aim to deliver top-class golf experiences. We wish to establish the following rules to give more people the chance to play on our courses.

At certain times, we experience extremely high occupancy. Therefore, during peak season, we will carefully ensure that booked times are adhered to. This means that booked times must be fulfilled or cancelled in good time. Generally, cancellations of booked times should be made well in advance (Members 24 hours, guests 48 hours). Exceptions will always be made in cases such as illness. Repeated no-shows will be penalised.

Cancellation Policy – Guest

To confirm your already booked tee time(s), the green fee must be paid 72 hours before arrival. The easiest way to pay the green fee is via your booked tee time in Min Golf.

A full refund of the green fee will be issued if cancellation is made no later than 48 hours before the booked tee time. If cancelled later than 48 hours before, half of the green fee will be refunded up to 24 hours before your tee time. After this, no green fee will be refunded. If your tee time remains unpaid, it means it has not been confirmed and is therefore available to another player.

Cancellation Policy – Member

Bookings can be made far in advance without limit. Normally, each member may have 2 simultaneous bookings on each court. The exception for B-Shareholders is that they may have 3 simultaneous bookings on each court. The main rule is that booked times that will not be used must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. Exceptions can be made for ”valid reasons” (illness, etc.).

To ensure that members and guests alike have access to attractive tee times, the following rules apply for any cancellation of a tee time.

Cancellation deadline: Members are urged to cancel their tee time. past 24 hours before the scheduled start time. This gives other members the opportunity to book the available slot and plan their day on the course.
Warning: Upon cancellation of a tee time less than 24 hours before the scheduled tee time, the member will receive A warning. We understand that unforeseen circumstances arise, but it is important to be aware of how one's actions affect other golfers.
Suspension: After three warnings för sen avbokning kommer medlemmen att bli debiterad en avgift. suspended from booking tee times for a period of 14 days. This is done to ensure that all members have an equal opportunity to enjoy their rounds on the course.

House Rules

Golf buggies

Golf buggies may only be driven on fairways and paths. Driving in the rough is prohibited and violations may result in the party being asked to leave the course. Depending on the weather, the course manager may prohibit the use of golf buggies at short notice. Guests can hire a golf buggy for 600 SEK (valid for 18 holes); members, guests of members and guests with a doctor's certificate pay 400 SEK. Business Club Member pays 350kr

In fog

For safety reasons, no one may leave the clubhouse until the green on the first hole of the Links Course is visible. When the fog clears, everyone will tee off from the first tee. The first booked tee time will go out first. After that, starts will be sequential. Our experience is that golfers create a good flow by co-operating to fill tee times with full four-balls, and by being ready when it is their turn to tee off. This allows us to make up for delays very quickly in most cases.

When frost

Our Course Manager gives the all-clear when it's time to play, so it's not reception or shop staff who make this decision. Everyone goes out from the first tee. The first booked tee time goes out first. After that, play proceeds continuously. In our experience, golfers create a good flow by co-operating to fill tee times with full 4-balls, and by being ready when it's their turn to tee off. This allows us to make up for delays very quickly in most cases.

Dogs

Leashed dogs are allowed on the courses., ej på greenerna.

Transport

Trolleys are not permitted to be transported on the tee, green or foregreen. Trolleys are also not permitted to be transported between the green and the bunker. Use the pathways as often as possible.
