Course Notes

• Ullna Golf & Country Club is approximately 12 miles north of Stockholm city centre;

• Opened in 1981, the course is laid out in woodland and is situated on the banks of Lake Ullna;

• Hosted the European Tour's Scandinavian Enterprise Open from 1983 to 1987;

• Annika Sorenstam won here in 2004 when it staged a Ladies European Tour event;

• In 2013, Ullna underwent a renovation overseen by the Jack Nicklaus design team;

• During this upgrade, Nicklaus Design turned a largely flat layout into a rolling landscape, while bringing either the giant lake, or its many streams, into play on most holes;

• Small ditches were converted into streams; ponds were expanded, and greens were seeded with creeping bent 007.
