A sneak peek at what the competitors will face – and what the galleries will enjoy – at the Nordea Scandinavian Masters, is available at a special slide show featuring Robert Trent Jones II’s Bro Hof Slott Golf Club Stadium Course, near Stockholm (images by photographer Ulf Berglund and Lenart Hyse).

RTJ II worked collaboratively with owner Bjorn Oras to design a spectator-friendly championship venue that provides great viewing points.  In several locations, spectators can stay in one place and watch the action on two different greens and two sets of tees.

Bro Hof is the longest course RTJ II has designed – it can be stretched to nearly 8,000 yards to challenge the European PGA Tour players, who will compete July 22-25 on the scenic setting on a great fjord (Lake Mälaren).

Much like on the back nine at Augusta, the closing holes of the Stadium Course at Bro Hof were designed to create drama – particularly at holes 17 and 18, which Oras has nicknamed “Victory Valley.”  The 17th, featuring an island green, should cause some changes on the leader board, while the home hole has the flexibility to be set up as a drivable par 4.  The action will conclude in an amphitheater setting built to accommodate 70,000 spectators.

The on-site castle previously utilized by Swedish royalty now serves as the elegant clubhouse, and is the inspiration for the name of a new RTJ II layout opening on at Bro Hof this year: the Castle Course.
