Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fróðárvöllur a true links course, and what's the terrain like?

While not a classic Scottish links, Fróðárvöllur definitely gives you that coastal, windswept feel. You'll find a rugged landscape with natural undulations and firm fairways, often bordered by volcanic rock formations that make for some truly unique hazards. It's a raw, authentic Icelandic golf experience.

We highly recommend visiting during the Icelandic summer, from June to August, when the midnight sun lets you play well into the evening. Be prepared for unpredictable weather, though-layers are your best friend against the ever-present wind and sudden showers. The course truly shines when the sun is out, even at 10 PM.

What's the most challenging or memorable hole at Fróðárvöllur?

For us, the par-3 7th hole stands out; it plays directly towards the ocean with a dramatic drop-off and requires a precise shot to avoid the strong crosswinds. It's a real test of nerve and club selection, but the views of the Atlantic are absolutely breathtaking and make it unforgettable.

How do I get to Fróðárvöllur, and is it easy to find?

Fróðárvöllur is located on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, about a two-hour drive from Reykjavík, and the journey itself is part of the adventure. We suggest renting a car for flexibility, as public transport options are limited, and the scenic drive through the Icelandic countryside is truly spectacular. Just follow Route 54.

What's the typical cost for a round at Fróðárvöllur, and is it worth it?

Expect to pay around 8,000-12,000 ISK for a green fee, which is quite reasonable for an Icelandic course of this caliber. Considering the unique landscape, the fresh air, and the unforgettable experience of playing under the midnight sun, it's definitely money well spent for an authentic golf adventure.
