Golf in Norway has recently become more popular and now Norway offers numerous golf clubs and golf courses. In some parts of Norway, golfers can even take part in exciting competitions of ice golfing and golfing in snow, providing a unique challenge for all golf players.

The season is from early May until the snow comes (mid/late November). Golfing in many locations is possible twenty four hours a day from the middle of May until the end of July, due to the phenomena of the Midnight Sun. The most popular golf clubs in Norway are:

  • Lofoten Golfbane in Lofoten (Holes: 9), Par: 20, Telephone: 0047 760 72002.
    This course is situated beautifully in a mountainous backdrop.
