Sweden to Lithuania
The corporate golf trip your Swedish team actually deserves
Stockholm to Vilnius: 90 minutes by air. A championship 18-hole course with a EUR 65 green fee. Full event management from a team that sweats the details. Sweden has great golf -- but Sweden also has great prices. Lithuania has great golf at prices that make Swedish CFOs smile.

The Swedish case for Lithuania
Why more Swedish companies are heading east instead of south
Swedish corporate golf has a problem. The domestic courses are excellent, but the costs are steep. A full corporate day at a good Stockholm-area course -- green fees, lunch, dinner, prizes -- easily runs SEK 3,000-4,000 per person before you've even thought about accommodation. And the season is short: realistically June through mid-September, with a lot of weather uncertainty at both ends.
So what's the alternative? Spain and Portugal are popular, but the flights are 3-4 hours, it's brutally hot in peak summer, courses are overbooked, and the "corporate golf trip to Marbella" is about as original as a team-building ropes course. Everyone's done it.
Lithuania is the answer that surprises people -- and then makes complete sense when they think about it. The flight from Stockholm is 90 minutes. The time zone is the same. Swedish companies already have deep ties to the Baltics -- many have offices, suppliers, or clients in Lithuania. The currency is the Euro (no SEK headaches for expense reporting). And the golf is genuinely excellent.
Capitals Golf Club isn't a compromise destination. It's an 18-hole championship course spread across 140 hectares of protected Natura 2000 landscape -- morainic hills, old-growth forest, the sort of natural setting that Swedish golfers actually appreciate. The green fee is EUR 65. That's less than many Swedish pay-and-play courses. When you add in the hotels, restaurants, and transfers, a full two-day corporate trip to Lithuania costs roughly the same as a one-day event in Stockholm -- but delivers an experience that's incomparably more memorable.

Swedish roots in Lithuania
You're not the first Swedes here. You'll be in good company.
There's a well-established Swedish business community in Lithuania. Companies like Telia, SEB, and Swedbank have had major operations here for years. The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania is active, and there's a steady flow of Swedish professionals living and working in Vilnius.
What does that mean for your golf trip? It means Lithuania isn't some unknown, exotic destination -- it's somewhere your industry peers are already operating. The business infrastructure is professional, the hospitality sector understands Nordic expectations, and you'll find a country that's surprisingly well-tuned to Swedish standards of service and organisation.
It also means that if your golf event is partly about building relationships with Baltic partners, clients, or colleagues -- you're playing on home turf in a meaningful sense.

End-to-end service
We take the admin off your plate completely
Organising a golf trip abroad sounds like a lot of work. It isn't -- because we do it. You tell us the basics: dates, headcount, budget range, and what kind of experience you're after. We come back with a single proposal covering every detail.
Pre-trip planning
Flight recommendations, hotel options, custom itinerary. One proposal, one price. We iterate until it fits.
Golf coordination
Tee times, cart hire, range access, coaching for beginners. Formats tailored to your group: Texas Scramble, Stableford, or match play.
Logistics on the day
Airport pickup, hotel check-in, transfers to the course, on-site coordination. A Pink Soup team member is present throughout.
Food and drink
Lithuanian cuisine is a genuine highlight. We arrange on-course catering, clubhouse meals, or restaurant dinners in Vilnius. Vegetarian, vegan, allergies -- all handled.
Activities beyond golf
Vilnius Old Town walking tours, craft beer tastings, spa sessions, or just a free afternoon to explore. Not everyone wants to golf all day -- we plan for that.
Prizes and branding
Custom scorecards, branded flags, trophies, prizes. We can source locally or ship from Sweden -- whatever works best.
Timing it right
The Lithuanian golf season: familiar, but a touch longer
If you play golf in Sweden, you know the frustration of a short season. Lithuania is at roughly the same latitude, but the slightly more continental climate means warmer summers and a season that starts a shade earlier and ends a shade later than in central Sweden.
The core season runs May through September, with June and July being the prime months. In a warm year, you can play into early October. The longest days in June give you daylight until nearly 10pm -- plenty of time for 18 holes followed by a leisurely dinner outdoors.
For corporate events, we recommend June through August for the most reliable weather. September is quieter, slightly cooler, and has a beautiful golden quality to the light that photographers love. If you're flexible on dates, September is often the sweet spot: fewer tourists, lower hotel rates, and the course in perfect late-season condition.
