Göteborgs Golf Klubb

Overview: Göteborgs Golf Klubb’s Hovås course sits on the coast south of Gothenburg, where parkland terrain meets the open character of the sea. The 18-hole layout is compact by modern championship standards, but its par-70 routing asks for precision, patience and a good reading of the wind. Mature vegetation frames the fairways, while the seaside setting leaves some holes exposed and gives the course a distinct change of rhythm from sheltered to open ground. The result is a thoughtful round in a landscape that feels both historic and genuinely playable.

History: The club was founded in 1902 and moved to Hovås in 1904, but the present 18-hole course was opened on 1 October 1933. The official course history identifies Andrew Persson with the Hovås course and records the club’s place in the early development of Swedish golf. The current profile therefore separates the club’s foundation date from the opening date of the exact ranked routing.

Did You Know? Göteborgs Golf Klubb describes Hovås as a park course with a mixed seaside character. Its white-tee length is published as 5,321 metres, a concise measure of how much golf the compact coastal setting provides.
