What kind of facilities and amenities can I expect at Vatnahverfisvöllur, given its remote location?

You'll find the focus here is squarely on the golf itself, not lavish clubhouse amenities. Expect a straightforward, welcoming pro shop and basic changing facilities; we suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks, as options are limited on-site.
