Local Rules
Out of bounds and roads
Out of bounds are marked by white stakes. A ball lying on or beyond the road when playing holes 1, 6, 16 or 18 is out of bounds, even if that area is inside the boundary used for other holes.
Ground under repair and no-play zones
Blue stakes or other stated markings identify ground under repair. Blue stakes with green tops identify no-play zones treated as GUR; free relief under Rule 16.1f is required.
Young trees and stone walls
Young trees marked with a support stake or orange marking are no-play zones requiring relief. Stone walls and remnants are organic parts of the course; loose pieces may not be removed and there is no free relief.
Course Intelligence
Course Character
The elevated landscape and exposed heathland setting can make wind a major strategic factor. Large greens, natural contours and detailed Local Rules around boundaries, young trees and stone walls reward careful target selection rather than aggressive lines alone. Bjäre Golfklubb sits 149 metres above sea level on the Bjäre peninsula, surrounded by nature and shaped as a heathland course with English character. Its open spaces, high rough and varied tees create a scenic but focused round. A scenic Swedish heathland course high on the Bjäre peninsula
Major Risks
Protected areas Biotopes and no-play zones can remove the direct line and require rule-based relief. Boundary holes Out of bounds affects holes 9, 10 and 13–18, including roads and paths on 17 and 18.
Blue Tee Strategy
Treat marked boundaries and protected zones as strategic constraints. Use conservative targets near water and woodland edges. Keep the approach angle predictable on the undulating greens. Position first, then attack
