Hofterup is a quiet locality in western Skåne, positioned between Malmö, Lund and the Öresund coast. It is not a big resort town, but for golfers it has serious value because it sits right beside one of Sweden’s best-known golf venues, while still offering easy access to beaches, nature reserves and city life. Hofterup is in Kävlinge Municipality, Skåne County, and is closely linked with Barsebäck’s coastal golf scene.

The main draw is Barsebäck Resort, a major Swedish golf facility established in 1969 with accommodation, food, activities and views over the Öresund. The resort offers 36 holes, including 18 holes of true championship class, plus PGA-certified professionals, a Performance Centre and indoor golf facilities. Its classic tour course, the Ocean Course, gives golfers that proper coastal test, with sea views, exposed holes and wind as a real factor. The Pine Course adds contrast, moving through more sheltered tree-lined terrain, which makes the resort ideal for a two-round stay rather than a one-course visit.

Golf around Hofterup is best from May to September, when Skåne’s long daylight hours and milder weather make for comfortable rounds. Spring and early autumn can also be excellent, especially for golfers wanting quieter tee times.

Off the course, Hofterup is well placed for a relaxed southern Sweden trip. Järavallen Nature Reserve sits nearby, while the Öresund coast gives access to beaches, walks and sea views. Skåne’s wider appeal is its mix of coastal scenery, cycling, food, countryside and city breaks, with Malmö and Lund both close enough for easy evenings out or cultural day trips.

For golfers seeking championship golf, coastal scenery and a calm base close to Malmö, Hofterup is a small place with a genuinely strong golf pull.
