  Trip Overview

  Join SCWDC Guided Vacations in Scandinavia, Denmark, and Sweden with VBT, a highly rated bike tour company which your leader has used multiple time.  The Tour is rated Easy, and choice of E-bikes, hybrids or road bike is complimentary , as are the bike helmets.  If you’re not familiar with the Swedish Riviera, it’s a thing. The sandy beaches of Torekov and Båstad have long been the summer haven of Sweden’s social elite—and the shoreline drips with opulence and distinctive Swedish charm. Starting in Denmark, your local leaders will introduce you to the region’s heritage in regal settings—including a visit to Helsingør, the castle said to be the setting of Shakepeare’s Hamlet. Cycle easy paths through the pristine forests of Småland, returning to an ancient manor house that’s been a frequent retreat of Swedish royalty for centuries. Your leaders will be delighted to introduce you to traditional Swedish folklore during a festive evening of song and dance—and of course a boisterous, and delicious, Swedish barbecue that’s nothing like anything you could ever experience back home.

  Friday, we'll head to Ravenwood Golf Club, an award-winning 18 hole course. Considered to be the top public golf course in the area, Ravenwood was selected by Golf Digest as the 5th "Best New" public golf course to open in the United States in 2003. Ravenwood has hosted many USGA & PGA qualifiers as well as the home of the 2003 & 2009 New York Men's Amateur Golf Championships. The championship golf course layout has bent grass tees, greens and fairways but with five sets of tees, it can be a fair and challenging test for golfers of all skill levels.

  
  

  Saturday brings us to The Links at Greystone, with a maximum length of 7,215 yards, a course rating of 74.3 and a slope of 130. The Links has a championship-caliber layout worthy of Golf Digest's coveted 4.5 Star Rating. Only a handful of other golf courses across the country have ever been rated better.

  Sunday, take a break to enjoy the Finger Lakes! The area is home to many local breweries and nearly a hundred wineries, so explore on your own or go with Crush Beer & Wine Tours which specializes in private Finger Lakes wine tours and guided winery experiences across New York’s premier wine region. They offer professionally chauffeured winery tours and wine tastings throughout the Finger Lakes, including Seneca Lake, Cayuga Lake, and Keuka Lake. Or, take advantage of the hotel's close proximity to the Erie Canal Trail, which runs parallel to the canal, is an ideal spot for leisurely strolls, jogging, and biking.

  Monday, we'll golf at Reservoir Creek Golf Club, a beautiful course with expansive vistas and challenging holes for all levels of play. Rated the #1 public course in Rochester, NY by GOLF Magazine in May 2023, Reservoir Creek is a par 71 course, and a hidden gem south of Canandaigua Lake with a maximum length of 6,294 yards.

  • 2 nights lodging @ Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront
  • Greens & cart fees

  Payment in FULL is due at registration

  
  

  On our way to Ocean City, we'll enjoy a round of golf at Nutters Crossing which offers beautiful lush fairways rolling over gently sloping hills, past eight water hazards and through a maze of over 50 bunkers, to rolling greens built to USGA specifications.

  
  

  Then we'll make our way to the Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront, located steps from the beach and the historic Boardwalk’s shops and eateries. Enjoy ocean views from a private balcony in every room, restaurants, and the indoor pool.

  
  

  Relax Wednesday morning before we reconvene for another round of golf at Rum Pointe Seaside Golf Links. This Scottish-style links is the only area course to feature bent-grass on the fairways and greens. No less than 17 of the 18 holes have a bay view with several holes having direct bay frontage, where you can start your ball over the water to shorten the hole. The Dyes have certainly created situations of risk and reward that will quicken the heart rate of even the most experienced golfer. From the back tees this championship quality course is capable of hosting a PGA Tour stop but forgiving enough from the middle tees to satisfy golfers of all skill levels.

  

  Before heading home on Thursday, we'll stop for a final round of golf at Newport Bay Golf Course and Ocean City Golf Club. The Newport Bay Course at Ocean City Golf Club is one of the most beautiful and scenic golf course in Ocean City MD and on the East Coast. All 18 holes feature bay or marsh views. The scenic views coupled with the challenging course layout will certainly make Newport Bay one of your favorite golf courses. Newport Bay’s design challenges golfers of all levels. The course layout will test your strategic thinking abilities as the subtle contours bring traps and hazards in play at every turn… all while enjoying the most beautiful golf course setting in the Mid-Atlantic.

This course offers 4 tees ranging from 5,248 to 6,541 in length with a rating/slope from 70.6/121 to 71.1/124. The course, nestled in a quiet, out of the way, golf-club community adjoining Lake Lawson and Lake Smith, is a nine time winner of the VA Pilot’s “Best of the Best” Award.

  
  

  Prior to returning home, we'll play the Heron Ridge Golf Club, a public, 72-par, 18-hole championship course designed by Gene Bates & Fred Couples. Known for its natural beauty, featuring wetlands, lakes, elevation changes, and mature trees, this course offers 5 tees ranging from 5011 to 7017 yards with a rating/slope from 68.5/111 to 73.9/131. Heron Ridge has a full practice facility (driving range, putting green) and a clubhouse with dining.

  
  

  Between rounds, we’ll stay in one of the top Virginia Beach oceanfront hotels, the Marriott Courtyard Virginia Beach Oceanfront/South where sand meets surf & the boardwalk bids outdoor entertainment. The hotel offers spacious, beachfront rooms with private balconies and sweeping views of the Atlantic. The hotel has an on-site restaurant, a 24-hour fitness center, and heated indoor pool. This facility is conveniently located in the heart of the oceanfront resort area, within walking distance of local restaurants and nightlife.
