Many golf courses have long been established around the eastern coast of Sweden, with a number of the most popular being extremely close to the city of Stockholm. Famed for its championship tournaments, which have attracted many notable golfers over the years, the Kungsängen Golfklubb is especially notable and just a short drive from central Stockholm, being home to two separate 18-hole courses (Kings and Queens). Both the European Seniors Tour and the Volvo Scandinavian Masters have been hosted here in recent years. Other golf courses near to Stockholm include Royal Drottningholm Golfklubb, which enjoys an especially scenic setting next to Malaren Lake and Drottningholm Castle, the official residence of Sweden's royal family.
