Golf under the midnight sun.

Par 4 | HCP 9/10

• Yellow tee: 267 m / 239 m

• Red tee: 223 m / 200 m

A blind tee shot where a forecaddie is highly recommended. Aim to the left, in a counterclockwise direction. From the men’s tee, be careful not to get mesmerized by Schaffer’s Pond, which you must play over. The hole is named after musician Janne Schaffer, who managed to hit the pond with his very first shot at the course’s opening in 1989.

Remember to tap your club against the ground as you pass, so the player behind you knows the hole is clear. To the right of the green lies another pond that’s more than happy to swallow less-than-perfect approach shots. The green is small, undulating, and demands precision—if you miss, it’s easy to end up in the woods among the mountain vegetation.

Par 3 | HCP 15/16

• Yellow tee: 118 m / 141 m

• Red tee: 118 m / 141 m

Once you’ve recovered from the magnificent natural scenery—with the entire Lake Torneträsk stretching out to your right—you’ll find a short hole ahead with a steep elevation change. A pond to the right of the green and ditches to the left make the hole play significantly harder than the index suggests. Early in the season, snow often lingers on the mountain side to the left. Should your ball find its way there, a chilly approach shot—to say the least—awaits toward a two-tiered green.

Par 4 | HCP 5/6

• Yellow tee: 271 m / 229 m

• Red tee: 241 m / 229 m

A tactical dogleg left with an elevated green. Here you face a difficult choice: Take a chance with a long drive straight onto the plateau, or play it safe on the fairway for a longer, hidden approach shot? The green slopes steeply downward, and there are countless stories of balls rolling off. If you’re lucky enough to have a favorable pin placement, it will be on the upper, flat section.

Par 5 | HCP 1/2

• Yellow tee: 467 m / 429 m

• Red tee: 381 m / 339 m

First it goes downhill, then it goes uphill. This is a long, narrow hole with a water hazard on the left and dense dwarf birch trees on the right. If you hit it dead straight, you’ll have no trouble—but who can do that when the mountain wind is howling? The elevation changes play tricks on the eye, and the green is often closer than it looks. If you’re running out of steam halfway through, you can stop for a coffee break at the hut if it’s open. The green is small and undulating.

Par 3/4 | HCP 13/12

• Yellow tee: 165 m / 225 m

• Red tee: 139 m / 200 m

Here you stand at the highest point of the course. Down to the left, you can hear the ore trains rumbling along Torneträsk, and in the distance, Abisko and the iconic Lapporten tower above. Beyond a deep ravine, the fairway opens up. The ravine continues along the left side, while dwarf birch and mountain birch line the right. On the first round, you can reach the green directly from the tee—provided you don’t face a strong mountain headwind! The green is absolutely top-notch.

Par 4 | HCP 11/8

• Yellow tee: 238 m / 274 m

• Red tee: 176 m / 220 m

A dogleg left where the fairway slopes all the way to the green. Watch out for the dwarf birch on the right as you prepare for your second shot, and brace yourself for a encounter with a few strategically placed mountain birches that make the approach shot extra exciting. The green is large with a steep ridge in the middle and also slopes to the left. You’ll need to keep an eye on the flag placement! If you hit 20 meters too far, you’ll have to retrieve your ball from the valley below—a strenuous walk of about 100 meters straight down the slope.

Par 3 | HCP 17/18

• Yellow tee: 129 m / 121 m

• Red tee: 105 m / 123 m

Perhaps the most spectacular hole on the course, with a breathtaking drop of around 70 meters. The green lies nestled in dense forest far below, as small as a postage stamp. The easiest thing to do is almost to grab your putter, nudge the ball over the edge, and let gravity do the rest. In snowy years, the ball can land in the drifts and roll almost all the way down. Otherwise, you’ll have the chance to show off your ”snow wedge.”.

Par 4 | HCP 3/4

• Yellow tee: 262 m / 206 m

• Red tee: 214 m / 185 m

Here you’re playing toward an elevated green and must navigate two significant drops along the way. To the right of the narrow fairway, the mountain slopes steeply downward, but the dense mountain vegetation means the ball rarely rolls down onto playable ground. About halfway down the hole, a covered ditch crosses the fairway and empties into a stream on the left. Once on the green, a delicate touch is required—it has two levels and slopes steeply back down toward the fairway.

Par 4/3 | HCP 7/14

• Yellow tee: 271 m / 113 m

• Red tee: 222 m / 113 m

Use the famous Silver Falls in the distance as your guide. The hole curves to the left in a dogleg. If you make a good shot, the ball will roll nicely down the last half of the fairway all the way to the green. On the second round (as a par 3), you’ll reach the green with a relatively short club thanks to the steep downhill slope. The main hazard here lies behind the green, where the dense forest begins and punishes long shots.
