Golf Courses

Lofoten Links is a breathtaking 18-hole seaside course set on the island of Gimsøya in Norway’s Lofoten archipelago, well above the Arctic Circle. The course offers an unforgettable golfing experience, with dramatic coastal scenery, white-sand beaches, and the Norwegian Sea acting as a natural hazard. Designed as a true links-style layout, it blends seamlessly into the rugged landscape, with challenging holes shaped by the wind and terrain.

Since its full opening in 2015, Lofoten Links has gained worldwide recognition for its beauty and unique setting. The course is ranked 80th in the world by Top 100 Golf Courses and 24th in Golf Digest's Top 100.

What sets Lofoten Links apart is the rare opportunity to play under the midnight sun in summer or beneath the Northern Lights in autumn. From mid-May to late July, golfers can tee off at any hour of the day or night, while in late season, the aurora may dance across the sky during your round. The course is supported by a well-equipped clubhouse and pro shop, making it a destination for both serious golfers and adventure seekers alike.

Accommodation

The accommodation offers a peaceful and luxurious stay on the edge of the coastal setting, just a short distance from the golf course and scenic Hov Beach.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces provide sweeping views of the Norwegian Sea, making it the perfect place to relax after a round of golf or a day exploring the outdoors. Designed for both comfort and connection to nature, the lodges also feature amenities like free Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, electric car charging, and outdoor seating areas.
