Famous Golf Architect for Skåne
With the purpose to attracting future tournament play (and to offer members a longer, more challenging test), the Vasatorp golfclub has retained Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates to remake the full-length nine-hole loop and add nine more holes to create what is essentially a brand new, championship 18 here in Helsingborg.
Vasatorp Golfklubb, whose original 18 was completed in 1974, played host to the European PGA Tour’s Scandinavian Enterprise Open (later becoming the Scandinavian Masters) from 1978 to 1981, when Sweden was just emerging as a European golf land.
Having produced champions such as Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman and Sandy Lyle, the Scandinavian Enterprise Open and Vasatorp are generally credited with establishing golf in Sweden as a spectator sport.
The new renovated course will be open in spring 2008.
