Lofoten Links Golf Club

Lofoten Links Golf Club is one of the most visually striking and uniquely located courses in the world. Situated on the island of Gimsøya in Norway’s Lofoten archipelago - well above the Arctic Circle - the course offers breathtaking views of the Norwegian Sea, jagged peaks, and sweeping beaches. Its remote setting provides a truly unforgettable experience, blending world-class golf with the untouched beauty of the Arctic landscape.

What truly sets this course apart is the opportunity to play under the midnight sun in summer and beneath the Northern Lights in autumn. From May to July, golfers can tee off at any hour thanks to 24-hour daylight.

In late season, players may catch the aurora borealis dancing above the greens. Coupled with the luxury on-site Lofoten Links Lodges and access to activities like hiking, horseback riding, and sea kayaking, Lofoten Links is more than just a course - it’s a once-in-a-lifetime golf holiday.

Course Overview

Originally designed by Jeremy Turner (1998) as a 6-hole course and expanded to 18 holes in 2015, Lofoten Links is a true seaside links layout, featuring natural dunes, rugged terrain, and wild coastal winds that make every round a challenge.

The course plays as a par 71 at just over 6,562 yards from the back tees and is known for both its strategic demands and raw beauty. Lofoten Links has quickly climbed the ranks of global golf, earning recognition in Golf Magazine’s World Top 100 and among Europe’s top golf destinations.

Signature Holes

The standout among many dramatic holes is the par-3 2nd, often referred to as one of the most scenic in Europe. This hole plays directly along the coastline, with the green perched beside rocky outcrops and backed by pristine white-sand beach. This stunning hole with a backdrop of the Northern Lights is part of what has made this course so famous.

Exposed to swirling winds and framed by towering mountains and endless sea, it captures the essence of Arctic links golf: stunning, raw, and unforgettable.
