-°C Today, Forecast: -

The Westman Islands Golf Club was founded in 1938, making it the third oldest golf club in the country. Originally, the course was 6 holes and played inside Herjólfsdalur. Later, the course was enlarged to 9 holes but then made into a magnificent 18-hole course in 1992. The Icelandic golf tournament has taken place 5 times at Vestmannaeyjar course and will take place here next in 2022.

Vestmannaeyjar Golf Club stands out in regards to other courses because there is a large selection of tee times during the summer. The golf course in The Westman Islands is one of the most famous in Iceland and has a huge attraction for golfers, both Icelandic and foreign. It is a big attraction for tourists and attracts many people to the Westman Islands every year. The course is located inside Herjólfsdalur but the natural beauty is one of the things that makes the course as beautiful as it is. The first 9 holes are located inside the valley where there are a lot of hills and cliffs, but the second 9 holes are by the sea. They are therefore considered by many to be more difficult, but can both give and take.

The setting is truly stunning, overlooked by the famous Elephant Rock. Holes 15 and 16 have the rocks on the left, while you hit over the sea on the par 3 17th. The greens are on the small side, with some big breaking putts. The whole experience is obviously heavily influenced by the weather, and although we had a couple of brief, heavy showers, when the sun came out it was an unforgettable experience. All the people in the clubhouse were delightful. A special day which will linger long in the memory, all watched over by the Elephant Rock

This course is absolutely stunning and was a fantastic layout. That being said a few things that made the experience a little less then perfect was the fact that the scorecard did not have a map of the course and minimal signage around the course made it very difficult to know where exactly the hole you are playing was and where the next teebox was after completing the previous hole.

It was a pleasure playing the course. They layout is tricky due to the narrow space where the course is nestled….I think I played shots into the incorrect green once or twice. The staff is very friendly and course is fun to play. Greens are very slow. Would love to come back and play it again sometime

Fun course with tremendous views. Course conditions were good. Only problem was signage for the layout. We got lost several times and actually played to the wrong green once. Overall, we enjoyed playing here.
