Barsebäck Resort is a golf club in Barsebäck, northern part of Metropolitan Malmö in Scania, Sweden. The club is one of the premier golf facilities in Sweden and hosted the 2003 Solheim Cup and the Scandinavian Masters ten times between 1992 and 2017.
History The club, overlooking the Öresund strait, was founded in 1969 on the grounds of Barsebäck Castle by count Ian Hamilton and his wife Marianne. It was purchased in 1974 by Gösta Carlsson who developed the facility into one of the top golfing facilities in Sweden.
The club has two 18-hole courses, the 73-par Ocean Course (formerly Masters Course) finished in 1969 and designed by Ture Bruce, and the 71-par Pine Course (formerly Donald Steel Course) finished in 1989 and designed by Donald Steel, as well as a 9-hole course, Litorina.
In 2007, Annika Sörenstam hosted a Ladies European Tour competition named Scandinavian TPC hosted by Annika, played on the Masters Course August 9–12. The club first hosted the Scandinavian Masters in 1992. At the tenth installment in 2017 as many as 86,100 visitors saw 20-year-old Renato Paratore win the tournament.
