Golf courses in Iceland

Iceland is not a destination for those seeking a week of sunshine and pristine greens. It is a destination for golfers willing to step outside their comfort zone — and in return they get an experience that nobody else in their home club has had. Courses winding through lava fields, volcanoes in the background and in June and July a sun that simply refuses to set. Leading Courses favourites include Golfklúbbur Vestmannaeyja on the Westman Islands and Keilir Golf Club near Reykjavik. Golfklúbbur Vestmannaeyja sits on a volcanic island that was partly buried under lava in 1973 — a setting that literally exists nowhere else on earth. Keilir offers a more accessible but still exceptional Icelandic golf experience on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The golf season runs from May to September. The best months are June and July for the midnight sun and the longest days. Reykjavik Airport has direct flights from Amsterdam. The weather is unpredictable and a warm base layer under your golf clothing is never wasted. More than enough reason to take the plane and discover what Iceland has to offer the golfer.
