Golf Holiday in Värmland: Accommodation, Courses and a Week That Actually Works
A golf holiday in Värmland works best when you don't have to pack your bag every morning. Two established courses within a short drive, quiet accommodation by Glafsfjorden and room to leave your equipment out, that combination is what makes the week restful rather than stressful. When we've helped guests plan their golf trips, it's almost always been the convenience around the rounds that made the difference, not the price of the greenfee.
Here we walk through where you play, where you stay, when to come and what the rest of the group can do while you're on the course.
Quick summary
Sulvikstugby is located in Sulvik, Värmland, 11 km from Arvika town centre and 1 km from Glafsfjorden. From here you can reach Eda Golfklubb in 22 km and Arvika GK in 33 km, giving you two courses within easy reach without long drives.
Two Courses Within Driving Distance
From Sulvik you can reach two well-established golf courses without spending most of your day in the car. Eda Golfklubb is 22 km away to the west. Arvika GK is 33 km away. That means you can alternate between the two courses during the week and still have time for the round, lunch and a quiet afternoon by the lake.
For many golfers, that matters more than we might think. Not having to pack early in the morning, drive a long way, play and drive home tired. With two courses nearby, a short trip is all it takes, and you're back at the accommodation well before dinner.
Accommodation That Suits a Golf Trip
Sulvikstugby is 1 km from Glafsfjorden, 3 km from Kolsjön beach and 11 km from Arvika town centre. For golfers, the location means three concrete things:
- Quiet after the round. Värmland's nature isn't just a backdrop, in the evenings it's genuinely quiet.
- Space for equipment. A cottage gives you room for bags, shoes and clothes without cluttering the bedroom.
- Your own kitchen. After 18 holes it's nice to grill on site rather than getting changed and driving to a restaurant.
When Is the Right Time for a Golf Holiday in Värmland?
The season runs roughly from April to October, with variation depending on how spring and autumn unfold. In our experience:
- May and June give long evenings and usually dry fairways. Good if you want to play late.
- July is high season for accommodation too. Book early if you have specific dates.
- August and September tend to offer more stable course conditions and fewer people around.
When the Rest of the Group Isn't Playing
A golf holiday only works when everyone in the group is happy. Värmland has several options within a short distance from Sulvik:
- Glafsfjorden (1 km): swimming, paddling and quiet morning coffee by the water.
- Kolsjön badplats (3 km): the nearest easy beach day.
- Bergs klätt (6 km): a short hike with views over Arvika and Glafsfjorden.
- Rackstadmuseet (12 km): art with strong local roots.
- Storkasberget (18 km): for those who want a longer hike.
- Ingestrand badplats (18 km): an alternative swimming spot a bit further out.
- Glaskogen naturreservat (25 km): serious hiking and fishing.
- Valfjället (28 km): a day-trip destination with views.
- Charlottenbergs Shoppingcenter (30 km): for those who want to mix nature with shopping.
- Klässbols Linneväveri (37 km): traditional crafts with history, often appreciated by non-golfers.
How We Often Structure a Golf Week
A suggested outline, adjust to suit your group and energy levels:
- Day 1: arrival, unpack, evening walk down to Glafsfjorden.
- Day 2: 18 holes at Arvika GK, lunch at the course, afternoon at Kolsjön.
- Day 3: rest day, Rackstadmuseet and a stroll around Arvika town centre.
- Day 4: 18 holes at Eda Golfklubb, barbecue evening on the terrace.
- Day 5: short hike up Bergs klätt, relaxed afternoon.
- Day 6: second round at the favourite course, evening by the lake.
- Day 7: departure.
Three Things to Keep in Mind When Booking
- Book your tee times separately. Times at the courses are booked directly with each club. Secure your times before booking accommodation, especially in July.
- Plan on having a car. A car is practical since you'll be switching between courses and day-trip destinations. Public transport doesn't reach all the way to the tee.
- Pack for Värmland weather. Bring rain gear regardless of season. Afternoons can swing quickly between sunshine and showers.
