Gustavik's golfcourse

On 6 June 1988 Gustavsvik's golfcourse was constituted. The area was once a sea bed and it was also an airport. The 9th hole was a dog race track but it has now been moved to Bista because the same year on 20 October they started to build the new 18-hole course, before that it was just 5 holes and a drill-ground. Hole 13 is the absolute hardest hole but at the same time the funniest, it is a very small hole with a wave fairway and rocky forests on both sides of the fairway it matches perfectly to the last 9 holes that are relly hard. For the moment Gusvatavsvik's golfcourse is a 27-hole course with 9 holes in a park, 9 holes of in a forst and 9 holes that are a short hole course.
