Formerly known as the European Tour Club, the Kungsangen Golf Club was founded with grand ambition and its superior Kings Course partly designed by local professional turned course adviser Anders Forsbrand. It occupies some hilly terrain, but to get into the steeper ground you need to first play a fairly tame front nine which is mostly set amongst open paddocks with plenty of water and artistic bunker shapes that look good but are shallow and often pointlessly located. There are also some serious routing issues early, with the Queens Course holes intersecting the Kings holes, the 1st on the Queens and the 9th on the Kings actually run parallel with out of bounds areas for both holes on the others fairway. Crazy stuff.

The 10th hole gets up into the birch and pine trees and leads into a much better half of golf, there are a few wild greens out here but some solid holes as well. The biggest black-spot on the back nine is the par five 14th, which has a steep and elevated green that is both tiny and sharply tiered. Golfers can't bump their approach shot here, and there is really no way to get to back pins from so low down. The tee shot is really poor as well, played through a narrow chute of trees and over water it's even harder from the front tee markers where trees block the right side and force a fade if you want to hit the short grass.

The club at Kungsangen is successfully run and like most modern courses in Sweden has been popular with the regions many golfers. The Queens course is similar to the Kings with nine holes in the hills and nine on the open paddocks. Neither reaches great heights, but two coherent 18s would have surely been a better option and solved some of the routing issues.
