A Nordic golf course architect, Peter Nordwall is best known for his Swedish courses Bro-Balsta and Svartinge which both have their fans and elements to admire. Svartinge is a prestigious private club that is beautifully built, immaculately maintained and has enough decent golf holes to ensure that most members golf there happily.
Clearly Nordwall had a generous budget at Svartinge, and if considering him for your golf course project this will be one consideration. The design itself has some issues, most specifically with strategic length holes that offer few options for the non-bombers. It’s a pretty solid effort, however, and without great competition rests comfortably within Sweden’s best twenty.
