Does playing golf at midnight surrounded by lava fields and glacier views sound too strange to be true?
Not in Iceland! Where a wealth of wide-open spaces surrounded by incredible nature make golfing an unexpected and unforgettable experience. In summer, golfers can even tee off in the middle of the night because the island experiences 24 hours of daylight for around six weeks.
Icelandic golf courses follow the contours of the natural landscape, and many were laid out with minimal disturbance to existing terrain and in harmony with nature. Their design pays tribute to the first golf courses in Scotland — the birthplace of golf. Fifteen 18-hole courses and 50 nine-hole courses are available to visitors.
Golf in Iceland has gained popularity in leaps and pounds in recent years to become the nation’s second most popular sport. Iceland ProTravel specializes in organizing golf holidays in Iceland for individuals, families, groups and couples.
