Vallda Golf & Country Club
Kungsbacka
Vallda Golf & Country Club is a superb choice for golfers planning a west coast Sweden golf holiday, especially if you like courses with a proper links-inspired feel. Set in Vallda, near Kungsbacka and just south of Gothenburg, it gives travelling golfers easy access to the city, the coast and one of Sweden’s most enjoyable modern layouts.
The course describes itself as a “Scottish inland links”, and that phrase fits it well. Designed by Martin Hawtree with Hawtree Limited, Vallda was created from meadowland with firm, fast-running surfaces, strong drainage, distinctive bunkering, undulating greens and tall fescue rough. It opened in 2009 and has quickly built a reputation as one of Sweden’s top courses, also hosting the 2021 Scandinavian Mixed.
For holiday golfers, Vallda offers a lovely balance. It is strategic and interesting without feeling brutally long, with generous tee shots in places but tricky green areas that keep better players thinking. Reviews and rankings often highlight the course design, greens, setting, restaurant and overall experience, which makes it a strong addition to a Sweden golf break.
Vallda also works well as part of a wider Gothenburg golf itinerary, with courses such as Hills Golf & Sports Club, Göteborgs Golf Klubb and Kungsbacka nearby. Hashtag Golf Travel can help shape the trip around the right flights, hotels, transfers and tee times.

About The Area
Just south of Gothenburg, Kungsbacka is a superb choice for golfers who want a Swedish golf holiday with easy city access, coastal scenery and a strong collection of courses close by. It has that lovely west coast feel: fresh air, open landscapes, relaxed towns and enough variety to make a trip feel much more than just a few rounds of golf.
Golf is a major part of the appeal. Kungsbacka Golfklubb offers 36 holes across a mix of woodland, parkland and windswept seaside-style golf, giving players plenty of variety in one place. Vallda Golf & Country Club is another standout, known for its Scottish-inspired inland links design, firm running fairways and strategic bunkering. Forsgårdens Golfklubb also adds more choice nearby, making Kungsbacka a strong base for a multi-course Swedish golf break.
Away from the fairways, the destination works well for golfers who like a bit of exploring between rounds. You can visit Tjolöholm Castle, discover Kungsbacka’s islands and coastal walks, head into Gothenburg for restaurants and nightlife, or enjoy Halland’s beaches, cycling routes and outdoor lifestyle. It is peaceful without feeling remote, which makes it ideal for couples, groups and golfers who want a slower-paced Scandinavian escape.
For UK golfers, Kungsbacka works especially well as part of a tailor-made Sweden golf holiday, either as a short break via Gothenburg or as part of a wider west coast itinerary. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right route, courses and hotels to make the trip feel smooth from start to finish.
