Oddur Golf Course
The Oddur Golf Course was inaugurated in August, 1997, and is now considered one of the finest golf courses in Iceland.
It is located in beautiful surroundings in the immediate vicinity of the greater area of Urridavatnsdalir, within about 20 minutes driving distance from the Centre of Reykjavik. The golf course is surrounded by lava. It is an exhilarating experience to play golf in the midst of nesting moor birds and enjoy their singing, far away from the city’s noise and everyday toil.

Keilir Golf Course
Keilir Golf Course is the top-rated course in Iceland. There is a vast difference between the front nine and the back nine. The front nine are surrounded by lava, but the back nine are placed on a small peninsula at the entrance into the Hafnafjordur harbor, with a spectacular view to the Alftanes peninsula and the famous Snaefellsglacier. The Keilir golf course is more about skill and accuracy than power and distance, especially when dealing with the lava field in the front nine!
-
Korpa Golf Course
The Korpa golf course is one of the latest 18-hole golf courses in the country and has already established itself as one of the best golf courses in the country.
There are two very different distinct nine holes on the course. The front nine stretch down and run along the beautiful coastline of the Atlantic Ocean with stunning views of Reykjavík´s signature mountain, Esja. A brilliant test of links golf is to be enjoyed on the front nine.
On the back nine, there are massive challenges that await players, with some of the holes played along the river Korpa.
The course is challenging for low and high handicap golfers alike.
