The parking lot at Jugen Jon was packed as the golf club celebrated its 4th anniversary with free golf for everyone. Many familiar golfing faces were in the crowd and several golfers from Mora tried out the challenging course. “It could use a few more balls here,” was one comment that was heard.
"All credit" for the outstanding work that the club's board has done to get the golf course on Sollerön up and running again. You get a long way with will, knowledge and enthusiasm.
"This summer the course is better than ever. The weather has been favorable for golf in general in Sweden and we have noticed that," says chairwoman Anna Magnusson.
“We decided to invest even more in 2024,” Anna continues. “Magdalena Berg was hired as a greenkeeper and she does a brilliant job. She is a trained gardener, which can be seen in the fine quality of the greens. In addition, many members do valuable voluntary work to keep the course in good shape.”
“The sponsors are showing great interest, which means a lot to us financially,” says treasurer Pernilla Widstrand, who would like to see more members. “We have just over 60, but it would be great if more Sollerö residents started playing golf. The goal is 150 and preferably more young people.
We hope and believe that there will be more golfers when Gesundaberget is brought back to life.
Solöns GK offers more than golf.
There is also a popular multi-sports course with large holes where families, companies and groups of friends can play football golf, golf and disc golf. The golf course is actually also an all-year-round facility as many people usually ski on the trails that are dug up during the winter.
It is peaceful to play on Sollerön's golf course. No stress, no queues, but you can walk around in peace and quiet and enjoy beautiful nature and challenging holes with both birdies and bogeys! As a member you can vary your rounds. Sometimes you play 9 holes, sometimes 5 or 6.
“See the track as a training track, not a competition track,” conclude Anna and Pernilla.
P.S.
Solöns GK also takes a stand for biodiversity.
Flower plantings provide a favorable environment for butterflies and bees among greens, bunkers and teeing grounds.
