Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really play golf at midnight in Iceland?
Absolutely, and it's an unforgettable experience. From late May to early August, the sun barely dips below the horizon, allowing for surreal rounds under the "midnight sun." We recommend booking a late tee time at a course like Akureyri or Brautarholt to truly embrace this unique phenomenon.
When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Iceland, and what's the weather like?
Aim for June, July, or early August for the best chance at milder weather and the incredible midnight sun. Be prepared for anything, though-Icelandic weather is famously fickle, so pack layers, a good windbreaker, and waterproof gear, even in summer. You'll often experience all four seasons in a single round.
What makes golfing in Iceland different from other places?
The landscape is truly the star here; you'll play amidst dramatic volcanic rock formations, black sand, and stunning coastal views. Courses like Brautarholt offer breathtaking oceanfront holes, while others are carved into ancient lava fields, providing a raw, untamed golfing experience you won't find anywhere else. It's less about manicured perfection and more about embracing nature's grandeur.
Is golfing in Iceland expensive, and what should I budget for?
Iceland can be pricey, and golf is no exception, with green fees typically ranging from $70-150 USD per round. Factor in car rental-essential for exploring beyond Reykjavik-and accommodations, which can add up quickly. We suggest looking into multi-round passes or twilight rates for better value, and always book your tee times well in advance, especially for popular courses.
How easy is it to get to the golf courses in Iceland?
Most courses are easily accessible by car, and renting your own vehicle is definitely the way to go for maximum flexibility. While there are many courses spread across the country, a good number of the most popular ones are within a reasonable drive of Reykjavik or along the Ring Road. Don't be afraid to venture out; some of the best hidden gems are found by exploring.
