Anyone know anything about golf in Norway?

[DoinShots]

I recently found out I'm being sent there in September for two weeks.

I would love to get a round in while I'm there - anyone have recommendations?

A couple of other questions...

1. Do any of the courses offer club rental?
2. I'm a HACK - a fast and ready one, but a hack nonetheless. No two ways about it (34 HCP). Will anyone care?

Thanks!

Where are you staying?

I think most courses offer rental clubs, depends where you are going.
There may be a couple of courses that limit handicap, but if so, they are upper class and generally expensive. On most courses it won't be a problem.

Where are you staying?

Thanks for the reply. I don't know where I'm staying yet, but I know a good portion of my time will be at the University of Oslo. Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

Lots of nice courses around Oslo, but as Zeph pointed out there are in many cases a maximum handicap for play.

Losby G & CC(just outside Oslo, 25 minute drive from the University) HCP limit on the 18 hole, but the 9 hole course(a very good 9 hole course is free for all). This is my homeclub. Hosted a Ladies European Tour event a few years ago.
Grønmo(Gronmo) 20 minute drive from the university. No HCP limit i believe
Hauger : 25 minute drive from the uni. Pretty good 18 hole course, no HCP limit.
Bærum GC : No HCP limit, but max 2 36 hcp`er per flight.

There are more courses, but either very expensive or with max HCP reqs.
Bogstad, Miklagard is expensive at 900nok for 18 holes.

Thanks for the reply. The 9-hole sounds like a good starting point - I'm not sure exactly how much time I'll have between work and sightseeing but there's always time for 9 right?
