Golf among fjords, forest and the midnight sun: a Robert Trent Jones Junior championship test outside Oslo, the country's grand old clubs, and an oceanfront links in the Arctic that plays through the night.

Norway is golf for the traveler who comes as much for the scenery as the scorecard. The courses thread through pine forest, along fjords and across open heath, the air is clean and cool, and the summer days run so long that a round at ten in the evening feels like mid afternoon. It suits couples and small groups who want an active, unusual summer trip, golf in the morning and a fjord cruise, a hike or a city afternoon to follow, rather than a fly and flop on a beach.
Base near Oslo and you can reach the country's best parkland golf within an hour. Build the trip around Miklagard, a Robert Trent Jones Junior design that has hosted the Norwegian Open, and add the prestigious Oslo Golfklubb and the forested Losby. For the once in a lifetime version, fly north to the Lofoten islands, where an oceanfront links plays under the midnight sun against a wall of Arctic peaks.
Norway's leading championship course, a Robert Trent Jones Junior layout that opened in 2001 on rolling, wooded land east of Oslo. It has hosted the Norwegian Open and Challenge Tour events, and its length, water and well shaped greens make it the natural centrepiece of a capital based trip.
The grand old club of Norwegian golf, set at Bogstad on the edge of the city forest. The original Ragnar Halle layout was reworked by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest in 2008, and it remains the most prestigious and exclusive course in the country, so plan a tee time and any member introduction in advance.
A handsome Peter Nordwall design on the flood plain of the Losby river, laid out among pine forest with a country manor hotel at its heart. Quieter and more relaxed than the Oslo club, it makes a fine third round and a comfortable place to stay on a golf and nature week.

Fly into Oslo, settle into the city or a manor hotel at Losby. An evening on the waterfront at Aker Brygge.
The headline round on the championship course east of the city, then an afternoon exploring Oslo's museums and harbour.
The prestige round at Bogstad on the edge of the forest, with a late, light evening for a relaxed dinner.
A gentle round at Losby among the pines, or take a flight north to the Lofoten islands for midnight sun golf by the ocean.
A fjord cruise or a day in Bergen if you have gone west, before an evening flight home.
The Oslo courses are within about an hour of the city; Lofoten in the Arctic is a short internal flight north and best built into a longer trip.

The Norwegian season runs May to September, with the warmest and driest golf in June, July and August and the longest evenings around midsummer. The far north offers the midnight sun for a few weeks around the solstice, so book Lofoten and internal flights early. Around Oslo, reserve the prestige clubs two to four weeks ahead and check whether a member introduction is required.

May to September, with the warmest, driest golf in June, July and August. In the far north you can play under the midnight sun around the solstice, while the Oslo courses enjoy long, light evenings.
Miklagard near Oslo, a Robert Trent Jones Junior design and Norwegian Open host, leads the way. Oslo Golfklubb at Bogstad is the most prestigious club, and Losby and Larvik add quality near the capital, with the Lofoten links for pure drama.
Yes. North of the Arctic Circle the sun does not set for several weeks around midsummer, so you can play through the night in daylight, most famously at the Lofoten links. Even around Oslo the summer evenings allow very late tee times.
Indicative 2026 green fees at the leading courses run from around 800 to 1,600 Norwegian krone, roughly 60 to 120 pounds, with the most exclusive Oslo clubs higher. Confirm directly before booking.
