Flommen Golf Club is a links golf club located in Falsterbo, Skåne County in Sweden. It has hosted the PLM Open on the European Tour.

History

The club was established in 1935 which makes it the country's 19th oldest golf club.[1] It is located on Sweden's southwestern tip, along the Baltic Sea, adjacent to Falsterbo Golf Club and near Ljunghusen Golf Club. Situated in the Flommen Nature Preserve amongst shallow lagoons and high dunes,[2] it is one of few links courses in the country.[3]

The club has hosted the PLM Open on the European Tour. New Zealand's Frank Nobilo recorded his first European Tour victory at the 1988 PLM Open, while eventual world number one Vijay Singh made his European Tour debut, and then-rookie Colin Montgomerie recorded his first top-3 European Tour finish at the same tournament.[4]
