Visby Golfklubb's main course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout at Kronholmen on Gotland. The club was formed on 2 October 1958 after land at Kronholmen had been acquired the previous year for a golf development intended in part to support tourism to Gotland. A nine-hole course was almost ready when the club was founded; the 18-hole course was ready for play in 1966.
The current design is credited by the club to Pierre Fulke and Adam Mednickson and underwent a major renovation in 2009. From the back tee it measures 6,300 metres. The course occupies a coastal site between Tofta and Västergarn, giving the present layout a links-inspired character and close relationship with the Baltic shoreline.
The course is an 18-hole links golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,300m (6,890 yards). Designed by Pierre Fulke and Adam Mednickson, the course originally opened in 1966. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Restaurant, Pro Shop, Practice Facilities.
In 1957 Malte Wiman, chairman of the Gotland shipping company's board, pursued the idea of a golf course that could also support tourism and ferry travel to the island. Kronholmen, a 150-tunnland property between Tofta and Västergarn, was selected after architects Rafael Sundblom and Nils Sköld identified the peninsula as suitable for golf. Visby Golfklubb was formally founded on 2 October 1958 with a nine-hole course close to completion.
The 18-hole course was ready for play in 1966. A major renovation in 2009 produced the modern course credited to Pierre Fulke and Adam Mednickson.
The club states that Svensk Golf ranks Visby number one in Sweden and that Golf Digest ranks it third in the Nordic region.
Visby operates both an 18-hole par-72 course measuring 6,300 metres from the back tee and a separate nine-hole course.
