On the European Tour the Scandinavian Enterprise Open was played 1973–1990, rotating between Royal Drottningholm GC, Bokskogen GC, Vasatorp GC, Linköping GC and Ullna GC. The PLM Open, played 1984–1990, mainly rotated between the links courses Falsterbo GC, Ljunghusen GC and Flommen GC.[6] The Scandinavian Masters has typically been hosted at Barsebäck G&CC, with stints at Kungsängen GC, Forsgården GC and Arlandastad Golf, before a new rota of Bro Hof Slott GC, PGA Sweden National and Hills GC was established in 2010.
Albatross GC, Delsjö GC, Kristianstad GC, Österåker GC and almost a dozen other courses have hosted Ladies European Tour events, such as the Scandinavian TPC hosted by Annika which ran 1996–2008.
In addition, Swedish courses hosted over a hundred Challenge Tour events 1990–2020, and over 40 International Golf Federation or European Golf Association amateur events starting with the 1962 St Andrews Trophy at Halmstad GC.
