GOLF: Bro Hof Slott Stadium Course has built a reputation as one of the best golf courses in the world. Shortly after opening in 2007 the course which sits on spectacular grounds on the edge of Lake Mälaren was judged to be Sweden’s best. It now ranks 54th in Golf World’s top 100 worldwide list and is ranked the second best in Europe outside The British Isles. The Stadium Course is a “lakeside course” and a fabulous experience for any golfer.

SIGHTSEEING: Stockholm is the cultural, media, political, and economic center of Sweden. It sports an appealing mix of modern Scandinavian architecture and fairy tale palaces, watched over by a Board of Beauty, responsible for preserving the city. One third of its area is devoted to green space, and another third to waterways, providing lots of room to breathe. Gamla Stan is the oldest section, retaining the medieval layout of narrow meandering paths. For the contemporary take there's Sodermalm, known trendily as SoFo, with welcoming restaurants and pubs, specialty shops and boutiques. Stieg Larsson fans hang out here, as it is the area of the city where most action in the Millennium novels takes place.

GOLF: Hirsala Golf Club is located just a short drive to the west of Helsinki and is set on a beautifully rolling piece of classic Finnish forest land. The golf course opened in 2007, was quickly rated by Golf Digest as amongst the best golf courses in the country, and in 2015 it had the honor of hosting the Finnish Open. The club also takes great pride in its GEO (Golf Environment Organization) certification, recognizing the contribution it makes to preserving the biodiversity and maximizing the ecological value of the land and the living ecosystem which depends on it.

SIGHTSEEING: Helsinki is a successful blend of traditional and modern architecture and design, interwoven with the beauty of nature, and a few quirky, purely Finnish touches - such as a church built inside a giant chunk of granite, and a venue that is a unique combination of café, restaurant, bar, laundromat, and sauna. Classic Russian onion-domed churches share the stage with Nordic minimalism, and a large concentration of Art Nouveau buildings. Prominent globally in the field of technology, Finland has also recently topped the charts as having the world's best educational systems.

Defined by the Baltic Sea and surrounding archipelago, Kotka is a picturesque town with a rich maritime tradition. It is home to the Maritime Museum of Finland and the Maretarium, and the Kymijoki River flowing through it is renowned for having the best salmon fishing in southern Finland, and for Langinkoski, the old Imperial Fishing Lodge located upstream. The most popular activities here are cruises around the archipelago, rafting and kayaking through the rapids of the Kymijoki, sailing and fishing. Travelers should also drop into the Finnish Wooden Boat Centre, where they can learn all about the rich heritage of wooden boat construction and use in Finland down through the years, and see boats being worked on by skilled craftsmen.

GOLF: Estonian Golf & Country Club opened in 2005 as part of the prestigious European Tour Properties network, and quickly and rightfully took its place in Golf World Magazine’s prestigious Top 100 European Courses, a spectacular achievement for a venue in an emerging golf nation. Its Sea Course hosted the Omega Mission Hills World Cup European Qualifier in both 2009 and 2011, with the International European Seniors Championship following in 2013 and the European Ladies' Amateur Championship in 2014. Locals say that when God created the coastal land of the Estonian Golf & Country Club, he must have intended it to be a golf course as it winds its way so harmoniously along the Baltic Coast and the Jägala River delta.

SIGHTSEEING: Tallinn is the capital and largest city of Estonia, being home to one third of the country’s population. Despite occupation at one time or another by each of its near neighbors, Tallinn is independent-minded and has creative ways of showing it - consider the Singing Revolution of 1988, the massive musical demonstration against Soviet rule that set Estonia on the path to independence. Visit St. Olav's Church, once the tallest building in the world, at least until 1625. Then pull up a chair at one of the cafés in the charming town square, heart of the city for 800 years. After your coffee, explore St. Catherine's Passage, a quaint old lane, home to a collection of craft workshops, and check out the secret 17th C. tunnel system.

It is located between the capital city of Riga and the resort town of Jurmala. Given the design pedigree, it provides a challenging, yet enjoyable experience for players of all abilities.

SIGHTSEEING: Riga’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, its winding, wobbly lanes are beautiful to wander through. But the most outstanding are the avenues of art nouveau buildings some, with their adornments of femmes fatales and fiendish gargoyles, are so amazing you can’t pass without stopping. The Museum of the Occupation is fascinating, haunting in parts. And the Ethnographic Open-Air Museum on lake Jugla is remarkable: traditional wooden buildings, brought from all over the country, set up to look like villages from the 18th & 19th centuries. Recently Riga also became a European Capital for Culture and it is well deserved. The restored 18th-century National Opera House is worthy of a whole evening. The new National Library, designed by Latvian architect Gunnar Birkerts, is a huge glass and steel mountain. And don’t miss an organ recital in The Dome - the organ one of the largest in Europe.

Walk the cobblestoned Old Town in Klaipėda and you’ll see its German heritage in the half-timbered architecture, beginning at Theatre Square. The old warehouses by the Dane River are now pubs and restaurants - try a traditional Lithuanian lunch of fish stew with warm black bread. There’s a museum in the remnants of Memelburg Castle with fascinating photos from WWII, the Blacksmith Museum with intriguing iron works, and the Clock Museum with, well, clocks. Klaipėda, close to the Curonian Spit, has some charming seaside resorts to explore. German novelist Thomas Mann had his summerhouse in Nida; it’s now a museum. The Ethnographic Fisherman’s Farmstead is an amazing experience - old fishing vessels and 19th century buildings take you back to the life of a fisherman two centuries ago. Visit the quaint village of Palanga with miles of beautiful beaches backed by dunes and pine forests.

GOLF: Today play Sand Valley, Poland’s number one course, and ranked in Europe’s top 100. Set in a large expanse of Polish countryside, it has a decidedly links feel, and offers wide rumbling fairways, vast waste bunkers, and challenging green sites that combine for an exciting and memorable round of golf.

SIGHTSEEING: Gdansk is a 1,000-year-old port city on the Baltic coast of Poland, which, together with the city of Gdynia and the town of Sopot, makes up the metropolitan area Trójmiasto, “the Tricity”. Home to the Westerplatte, where World War II broke out in 1939, Gdansk was mostly destroyed during the war, but many impressive sights remain. Wander through cobblestone streets and mazes of red-brick buildings to discover the Upland Gate, St. Mary’s Church, the medieval Gdansk Crane or the stunning façade of the Great Arsenal. Explore treasures of “Baltic Gold” at the Amber Museum or collections of paintings, fabrics, and furniture at the National Museum, housed in a former Franciscan monastery. Relax at a beer garden or restaurant and take in the beautiful coastline. Make your way to Gdynia, home of the Polish navy, to feast on seafood or a visit to a floating museum in the form of two ships – Dar Pomorza and Blyskawica.

Rønne is one of the most important towns in Bornholm and an attractive tourist destination The old port smithy dates from 1735, the majestic lighthouse from 1880, and the smallest house in the town on Vimmelskaftet. Strategically located, Bornholm has been fought over for centuries. It has usually been ruled by Denmark, but also by Sweden and by Lübeck. The ruin of Hammershus, at the northwestern tip of the island, is the largest medieval fortress in northern Europe, testament to the importance of its location.
