A golf court in Arctic Circle-my first home club

My first home club was Bjorkliden Golf. It has more than 5000 members and is the bigest golf club in Sweden, but many of the members have never played golf in the original home court. It is situated 250 km north of Arctic Circle. In the long winter period, you don't see the sun but often beautiful northern light. It is an excellent ski resort (http://www.bjorkliden.com/?q=node/8) where you can ski at all levels including helicopter skiing. In contrast, around the middle summer the sun goes round in sky but not down, an experience attractive for tourists. 

The Bjorkliden Golf Court is one of the 100 most beautiful golf courts in the world. It is surrounded by breathtaking views of untouched Lapland landscape. However, one can play golf there only in a few months of the summer period. On this court, often you play the ball down hill or up hill 50-60 meters, or from this hill to another hill. One has to carry the golf bag and walk on the small mountain path. And, there is no bunker at all!

In one summer holiday, I stayed there for one week to play golf. I don't remember the result, the memory is only the fantastic view from the tees and greens. It was more difficult to play the ball up hill than down hill. However, the most difficult part was putting after 8 o'clock in the evening! Because mosquitos came from everywhere attacking me, so I could not stand still for some seconds, despite of long cloth and protection cream and spray on the hand.  

It is some golf experience you should have once in your life.
