Årsta Castle

The old Castle Golfing at the old castle
The view back towards the Årsta castle and part of the golf course. On the panorama you can see two female golfers walking over the course. Shot this from the tree lined avenue i showed you yesterday. The current castle was built by Claes Hansson Bielkenstierna and his wife Barbro Åkesdotter Natt och Dag around 1650. Two other well known owners include Fredrika Bremer and Hans Johan Hierta. If you would like to see a few more photos check out my flickr set.

Most private golf courses where I live in Arizona (and we have hundreds of golf courses in Phoenix-Scottsdale) require golfers to ride a cart. It speeds up play and gets more golfers on the course. Public courses still allow people to walk while playing.

It looks like an excellent course Steffe, but I think I'd rather ride my bike along those leafy lanes than play golf :)
