Course Intelligence
Course Character
The course rewards disciplined approach play and precise positioning; its marked penalty areas, protected zones and boundary fencing should shape target selection throughout the round. Viksjö is a classic parkland course near Stockholm where the main challenge is described as the approach into the greens, framed by woodland and carefully managed playing corridors.

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
