Katrineholms GK (Old Course) – Review and Rating

Two of the loops, the blue and the yellow, wind out across fields down toward a lake.

The holes are surrounded by trees and shrubs, proof of the garden of delights that Selma Lagerlöf once wrote about. Today you notice local son Robert Karlsson more, who grew up right next to the blue loop and has his own practice green in the middle of the course. Speaking of practice holes, there are some next to the clubhouse.

The yellow loop has many fine forest holes of varying character. The distances between holes are no problem. The fairways are usually in good condition, if a bit waterlogged after rain. The bunkers are well kept and the greens exemplary, but sometimes undulating. The par 3s vary in length, the fours are normal, while a couple of the long holes are half a kilometer.
