Hills Golf & Sports Club

Hills Golf & Sports Club sits in Mölndal, just south of Gothenburg in the Västra Götaland region of Sweden. The course was designed by American architect Arthur Hills in collaboration with Steve Forrest and Swedish professional golfer Johan Edfors, who contributed local knowledge and playing perspective to the routing. The layout opened in the early 2000s and represents one of the more modern championship-standard facilities in the Gothenburg area. The design takes advantage of the rolling, forested terrain typical of southwestern Sweden, with elevation changes and natural corridors carved through pine and mixed woodland. Hills, known for his work across Europe and North America, shaped a course that balances strategic variety with playability, incorporating water features and bunkering that reward accurate placement over pure length. The involvement of Edfors, a European Tour winner and Ryder Cup player, brought a competitive golfer's sensibility to green complexes and approach angles. The club operates as a multi-sport facility, with tennis and other amenities alongside the golf course, reflecting a broader recreational model common in Scandinavian club culture. The setting offers a relatively quiet, wooded environment despite proximity to Gothenburg's urban sprawl. The course has hosted regional amateur events and serves as a home club for competitive players in the area, maintaining conditioning standards suited to tournament play while remaining accessible to a wide membership base.
