With global vehicle manufacturer Volvo headquartered in Gothenburg, is was only natural for the up-and-coming club to host the Volvo International Tournament, the first Ladies European Tour event held outside the UK and France, starting in 1980.^[2] The club also hosted the Volvo Albatross, Tour Final of the Swedish Golf Tour 1986–1989, with winners such as Magnus Persson, Anders Sørensen and Magnus Sunesson.^[3]

Amongst the successful players to represent the club are European tour players Helene Koch, Kärstin Ehrnlund and Alfred Dunhill Cup champion Mats Lanner.^[1]
