GolfStar Kungsängen is a 36-hole facility located in Kungsängen, Stockholm, situated at Garpebodavägen 1. The course opened in 1991 and is divided into two distinct 18-hole layouts: the Kings Course and the Queens Course. The Kings Course, which opened in 1993, serves as the championship layout and is described as a large, stately design. The Queens Course, the first to open on the site in 1991, is characterized as a narrower, more technical woodlands course where most holes are secluded, demanding precision over length. The Kings Course has hosted the Scandinavian Masters on the European Tour on four occasions: 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2005. The tournament winners at Kungsängen were Jesper Parnevik in 1998, Lee Westwood in 2000, Graeme McDowell in 2002, and Mark Hensby in 2005. The course remains a significant venue for professional golf, though the text notes that industrial development has encroached on the property, resulting in one hole being truncated. The Queens Course is designed as a forest course where accuracy is prioritized over distance. The facility includes a driving range and practice greens, though the range is strictly limited to 190 meters to protect other players and staff, with warnings that violations can lead to suspension by the Swedish Golf Federation. The course also features a golf shop and a grab-and-go food and beverage service.
