Once upon a time...

In 2016, Assartorps Golf Club decided to sell as the economy did not go together despite the fantastic commitment of the members. The land went on sale and we had the great honor of buying it. Many were interested as the location is so attractive. But no one was interested in letting the golf business live on - except us at Utchalleningarnas Hus (we have always liked challenges).

"We wanted to add value to our business and therefore not close the golf course. But we didn't want to manage it either, so initially the club leased the land at a low price. But in the end they decided to close down anyway. So we had a golf course in our lap"

We had two options: let the golf course grow back or manage it ourselves. Since the dream of creating a conference center on the site lived on, the course was maintained at the lowest possible cost. That was in 2017. The following year, we made the decision to invest in both golf and conferences. The talented Peter Chamberlain was hired to redesign the golf course and in the summer of 2018, Irish thoroughbred professionals in course construction lived out at the club and realized Peter's drawings.

"The course has been quite difficult to play and very hilly. There were many hidden holes that made it difficult. Now we have removed everything that was hiding the greens and there is only one hidden shot left. We have also made the course friendlier, by removing some bunkers and changing the cut lines"

Another big change was to change from 18 to 12 holes. Now there is a six-hole loop we call "Short and sweet" and another six-hole loop named "Long and tough". We hope that more people will be able to play as you can choose how long you are out on the golf course. There are now natural finishes after three, six, nine and twelve holes. You can of course play 18 holes, then you start and finish with "Short and sweet" and play "Long and tough" in between.

And why the slightly odd name of course GCC?

"It comes from the beautiful nature. When we presented the name, many golfers reacted and some thought it was very odd. Then we felt it was just right.

This will be unlike any other golf resort!"
