The parkland layout Masters Course was designed by Sunde Linde and inaugurated in June 1993 by Anders Forsbrand and Helen Alfredsson.[2] In August 2001 the New Course, shorter and more links-like in character, was opened.[3] The complex was conceived and built by real estate developer Leif Wåhlin, and has since inception been owned and operated by his privately held real estate company, Wåhlin Fastigheter AB.[4]

The Masters Course hosted the Skandia PGA Open on the Challenge Tour in 2004 and 2005, before hosting Scandinavian Masters and SAS Masters on the European Tour in 2007 and 2008.
