Frequently Asked Questions
When is the absolute best time to golf in Bláskógabyggð to experience the famous midnight sun?
You'll want to aim for late June through early July to truly experience the midnight sun on the fairways here. The courses are in peak condition, and playing under that ethereal glow is an unforgettable experience you simply can't get anywhere else. Just be prepared for potential crowds and book your tee times well in advance, especially for those late-night rounds.
With only four courses in Bláskógabyggð, do they offer enough variety, or will I feel like I'm playing the same course repeatedly?
Absolutely not- each of the four courses in Bláskógabyggð offers its own distinct character and challenge, which is impressive for such a compact region. You'll find everything from open, links-style layouts exposed to the elements to more sheltered tracks winding through lava fields and alongside rivers. We recommend playing them all to get the full Icelandic golf experience.
What kind of weather should I really expect when golfing in Bláskógabyggð, and what gear is essential?
Iceland's weather is famously unpredictable, even in summer, so pack layers- and then pack a few more. You'll likely encounter sunshine, wind, and rain all in one round, so a good waterproof jacket, trousers, and a windbreaker are non-negotiable. Don't forget a warm hat and gloves, even if the forecast looks mild; the wind off the glaciers can be surprisingly biting.
How easy is it to combine a golf trip to Bláskógabyggð with exploring the Golden Circle attractions?
It's incredibly easy and something we highly recommend you do, as the courses are perfectly situated within or very close to the Golden Circle route. You can easily play a morning round at one of the region's gems, then spend your afternoon visiting Gullfoss, Geysir, or Þingvellir National Park. Renting a car is essential for this flexibility, allowing you to move at your own pace.
Is golfing in Bláskógabyggð prohibitively expensive, and do you feel it offers good value for money?
While Iceland isn't a budget destination, we genuinely believe golfing in Bláskógabyggð offers excellent value for the unique experience. Green fees are comparable to other top-tier European courses, but you're paying for the incredible scenery, the midnight sun rounds, and the sheer novelty of it all. Factor in the stunning landscapes and the uncrowded fairways, and you'll find it's a worthwhile splurge.
