Norway
Lofoten, Celestial playground of the Northern Lights
Experience phenomenal golf under nature’s pyrotechnics on a land famed for its Viking adventures! The golf adventure begins amid a landscape carved among snow-capped Artic mountains.
The golf course first follows alongside the crystal-clear icy waters of the Norwegian Sea, before heading back towards those mountains. Holes that were once protected by deep-blue water now have craggy rock borders or deep bunkers, the Troon-managed course holding signature holes for everyone. Or, as the greenkeeper puts it: ‘sixteen signature holes, and that’s being unfair on the other two’. The course is on the island of Gimsøya, part of the Lofoten archipelago far north of Norway’s Arctic Circle, an area that gives so many unique experiences to the traveller from catch and cook codfishing experiences to the most refreshing of swims in icy waters.
