#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 18
Henrik Stenson “A finishing hole worth the name. Everything can happen here! A big green invites you to play bold but a mistake will be punished hard. Use an extra club or use the wide fairway to create an approach shot from your favourite distance.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 17
Henrik Stenson “17th was one of the holes that our team believed in the most during the design work. It got even better with the pond that wasn’t planned from the start. A strong par-4 with risk and reward. If you lay up short of the creek, you have at least 150 meters to the green. If you drive over the creek you will only need a wedge.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 16
Henrik Stenson “Short par-4’s are something of a personal favourite for me but can sometime get too “tricked up”. I think we have created a well balanced challenge that rewards good golf shots. To be honest, it’s only a 4-wood to the green…”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 15
Henrik Stenson “Challenging par-3 hole with an elevated tee-shot. The wind will definitely effect the ball and water is guarding three sides of the green. Small undulations on the green will give you a great chance wherever you place the ball.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 14
Henrik Stenson “Here you can allow yourself to breathe a little because there is no water in play, or is it? Dog-leg right where you can create a very good birdie chance if you hit your tee-shot over the bunker. A spoon should be enough?”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 13
Henrik Stenson “Also one of the courses signature holes, at least in my opinion. With the scenery of houses along the left side you can easily imagine being somewhere far away from Sweden. The green is very challenging with clear sections so you need to think about where you want to place yourself from tee.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 12
Henrik Stenson "A par “four and a half” like someone said during the construction. In my opinion a good course must challenge the player to test all types of shots during a round. And here you will have to master a long approach shot to a well framed and elevated green.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 11
Henrik Stenson “Österåker’s own “Postage Stamp”. With a good tee-shot you will have a good chance of birdie but avoid being too greedy- a bunker shot can be costly.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 10
Henrik Stenson “The start of the back nine gives a clear hint on what is going on. It will be more challenging and it’s important to hit good shots to be rewarded. The green is guarded by bunkers in front and a sharp run-off on the right side. You must hit the ball all the way up to the pin on the elevated green.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 5
#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 5
Henrik Stenson “The first par-5 hole. Here is a chance to create good opportunities for a birdie or an eagle. Play sensible from tee and then decide what line you dear to take for the second shot! Steep slope behind the right side and short left of the green, therefore, you need to think twice on where the pin is placed.”
⛳️

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 8
Henrik Stenson “A par-5 where the second shot is of extra importance. If you, like most people, can’t go for the green on two, I recommend that you aim towards the left to get a good angle into the green.”
⛳️

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 7
Henrik Stenson “A par-3 where the wind is of importance. You will probably hit a long or mid iron depending on the wind. The right side of the green is “safe” and will always give you a good chance to putt for birdie.”
⛳️

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 6
Henrik Stenson “There are many options from tee. If the flag is short I prefer hitting over the water on the right side. But when the flag is on the right part of the green I aim towards the bunkers. Whatever you do, avoid the right green bunker!”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 4
Henrik Stenson "The biggest green on the course. Take an extra club to be on the safe side. The wind needs to be in consideration here. When the pin is placed in the back it’s very important to place yourself in the right zoon. If not you can get very tricky putts.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 3
Henrik Stenson “Water is coming into play from tee on the right side. My strategy is to play the tee shot short of the left fairway bunkers to be able to get aggressive going into the green.”
⛳️

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 2
Henrik Stenson “Here you can decide on how aggressive you want to be. Find you perfect distance and try to place the ball to get a good angle to the elevated green. Greedy people can reach the green but be careful, tricky ondulations guarding the green from all angles.”

#ÖsterByStenson - Hole 1
Henrik Stenson “An opening hole giving you a comfortable start to your round. Play with a margin, don’t try and be greedy!”
