The best golf courses in Iceland

If you haven’t considered visiting Iceland for golf, you wouldn't be alone—but you’re also missing out. Where else in the world can you tee off at midnight and have complete sunlight?

During summer months, Midnight Sun allows golfers to tee off at seemingly any time of the day—it won't set for weeks at a time. The season is short for Iceland’s population of just under 400,000, equivalent to about half the people who live in Alaska. But about 10 percent of Icelanders are said to play golf, mostly due to the fact that you can find a course in nearly every village. Iceland has 65 courses, 50 of which are nine holes but many of the courses sit along the coastline, creating epic journeys. Though golf in Iceland is different than any other European golf trip, it’s one worth considering.
