More than a golf vacation
Most golfers spend their lives cycling through the same familiar destinations. Scotland. Ireland. Pebble Beach. You've done the research. You've booked the Scotland package and walked the Old Course at St. Andrews. It was truly incredible! But there's a nagging feeling that the world's most extraordinary golf experiences are still out there, untouched by the tour groups and tee-time queues. Don’t get me wrong, I love the old standards too. But somewhere above the Arctic Circle, a fairway stretches across ancient lava fields beneath a sky that never fully goes dark and almost nobody is talking about it.
Featured Golf Courses
Keilir Golf Club — Front nine weaving through centuries-old lava rock, Hafnarfjörður
Keilir Golf Club — Reykjanes Peninsula
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Reykjanes Peninsula, Keilir's front nine meanders through ancient lava fields while the back nine opens onto a clifftop peninsula with sweeping Atlantic views. The course ranks in the Top 100 Golf Courses in Europe, and after your round, the Blue Lagoon is twenty minutes away.
Golfklúbbur Reykjavíkur - Korpúlfsstaðir is a premier 27-hole golf course located in Reykjavík
Kórpúlfsstaðir — Greater Reykjavík
Kórpúlfsstaðir places you directly beneath the Esja mountain range — a silent, snow-capped gallery watching every swing. The course is known for its breathtaking views of the surrounding Icelandic landscape, including rolling hills, lush greens and dramatic skies. It’s a golfers’ paradise!

Akureyri Golf Club — The Arctic Open
Incorporate a little competition into your golf adventure and sign up for The Arctic Open. The tournament is actually a four-day golf festival, 36 holes of golf played according to the Stableford points system. There are two competition days, and 18 holes are played each of them. Since it never gets dark, you may find yourself on the tee at 11PM. The Arctic Open is an unforgettable experience for anyone who registers for the tournament, but participants also get a welcome opportunity to experience all the delights of Akureyri, Iceland. I love this 10-minute video describing the tournament and other hijinks Arctic Golf | Adventures In Golf Season 3 - YouTube.
