Local Rules
Internal out of bounds between holes 9 and 10
The boundary between holes 9 and 10 applies as out of bounds only when playing hole 10; when playing hole 9 the stakes are immovable obstructions.
Infinite penalty areas and drop zones
Red penalty areas to the right of 10, left of 12 and left of 18 extend infinitely. Drop zones are available as one-stroke alternatives on holes 12, 14 and 16, and behind/left of greens 12 and 18.
Ground under repair and no-play zones
Blue, blue-white stakes and white lines mark ground under repair; blue stakes with white or green tops identify no-play zones requiring relief under Rule 16.1f. Bunker erosion, large anthills and embedded rocks are also covered.
Immovable obstructions and course markings
White spray-line boundaries joining immovable objects share their status; the listed course fixtures are immovable obstructions under Rule 16.1.
Course Intelligence
Course Character
The northern landscape is central to the experience: exposed rock, pine forest and water create a memorable visual rhythm, while undulating greens make approach and putting especially important. An 18-hole course near Umeå that winds through gently undulating pine heath, rocky outcrops and small lakes, with the clubhouse elevated above Kläppviken.

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
