Iceland Golf

I plan to spend a few days in Iceland mid-June. Any suggestions on courses to play.

Well, we stopped at a course/ driving range west of Reykjavík, didn't play there b/c we did not have any clubs, borrowed a couple clubs, shot a bucket but time was limited. Where we did play in Iceland, was on Vestmannaeyjar island, in an old volcano and that was fun. There is a ferry that will take you there, that is maybe 30 miles east of the city. We made an 8am tee time and the check-in office was locked up. So we played, checked in on the turn, and they were fine, then we paid as we left. Some beautiful holes.

Enjoy,

Thank you for your post. I have a tee time booked for June 5. Will post after I play.

Here's a shot from Vestmannaeyjar island from 2015. The course is in this crater with Puffin's all over the place. Good thing our cruise ship had clubs we could use.

Played Brautarholt about 45 minutes north of Reykjavik. Fantastic, beautiful, fun course. I am ready to go back and play more courses. For an 80-year-old man it was a job to walk up the course. I cannot remember walking down much, ha! ha!
