History

Marianne Persson initiated the formation of the club in 1982 and it was admitted to the Swedish Golf Federation in 1986. The first 18 holes designed by Sune Linde were completed in 1989 and the 27 hole course in 1998.{{cite web |title=History |url=https://www.forsgarden.se/se/klubben/kort-historik |publisher=Forsgården Golf Club |access-date=28 February 2021}}

The club hosted the Scandinavian Masters with star-studded fields twice in the 1990s, and both tournaments ended with playoffs. In 1993 Peter Baker won with par on second extra hole over Anders Forsbrand, after they both finished on 282 (–10), two strokes ahead of Nick Faldo in solo third. Seve Ballesteros made the cut with one stroke margin in the rainy conditions which turned the course muddy and slippery. The field also included Colin Montgomerie, José María Olazábal, Vijay Singh and Ernie Els.{{cite web |title=1993 Scandinavian Masters |url=https://www.europeantour.com/european-tour/scandinavian-masters-1993/results?round=4 |publisher=European Tour |access-date=1 March 2021}} In 1996 Lee Westwood finished on 281 (–11) to secure his first European Tour victory after Paul Broadhurst was eliminated by par on first extra hole, and he won over Russell Claydon when he holed a 40-foot putt for birdie on the second extra hole. Colin Montgomerie, John Daly, Ian Woosnam and Bernhard Langer all finished outside the top ten.{{cite web |title=1996 Volvo Scandinavian Masters |url=https://www.europeantour.com/european-tour/volvo-scandinavian-masters-1996/ |publisher=European Tour |access-date=1 March 2021}}
