Golfklúbburinn Húsafelli

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play Golfklúbburinn Húsafelli, and what should I expect from the weather?

You absolutely want to aim for the summer months, typically June through August, to experience the famous midnight sun and the course at its greenest. Be warned though, Icelandic weather is famously fickle; you can easily experience all four seasons in a single round, so pack layers and waterproofs.

What makes the Húsafell course stand out from other golf experiences in Iceland?

Húsafell truly offers a unique blend of golf and raw Icelandic nature. You're playing amidst stunning mountain views and ancient lava fields, which isn't something you find everywhere, even in Iceland. It's a shorter course, but the dramatic scenery and the feeling of remoteness make it unforgettable.

Is Golfklúbburinn Húsafelli a good course for beginners, or is it more challenging?

This course is surprisingly welcoming for all skill levels, which we love. While the natural hazards-like the wind and the occasional lava rock-add a fun challenge, the shorter layout means you won't be overwhelmed by length. It's a fantastic place to enjoy the game without feeling intimidated.

Beyond the golf, what else should I plan to do when visiting Húsafell?

You'd be missing out if you only came for the golf! Húsafell is a hub for adventure; we highly recommend exploring the nearby Langjökull glacier with an ice cave tour or hiking to the beautiful Barnafossar and Hraunfossar waterfalls. Make it a full day or even an overnight stay to truly soak it all in.

What are the typical costs for a round at Golfklúbburinn Húsafelli, and are rentals available?

Expect green fees to be in line with other quality Icelandic courses, generally around 7,000-10,000 ISK, depending on the season. Yes, you can absolutely rent clubs and trolleys on-site, which is super convenient if you're traveling light.
