Grindavík Golf Club

Húsatóftum 240, Grindavík, Iceland

-°C Today, Forecast: -

Grindavík Golf Club (or Golfklúbbur Grindavíkur) lies by the main road to Reykjanesvita, west of Grindavík, about 7 km from the Blue Lagoon. The course is 18 holes, with five of them on the banks by the sea, and thirteen north of the main road stretched nicely into the lava.

First, the holes in the upper course are played into the lava to the east of the golf course. When the first 6 courses have been played, the golfers turn west and then finish the first part in the famous bowl on 9 hole opposite the golf bowl. Then the field is played back and forth on the next three holes and finally the trays are played. The 18 hole is next to the old hut and is a majestic par 3 hole that runs up to the current golf hut.

A new golf clubhouse was opened in July 2012. The clubhouse is 170 square meters in size and can accommodate up to 100 people. The clubhouse is very suitable for all kinds of groups and companies for tournaments.

The course is therefore full of contrasts and is divided into three parts with a typical coastal course, overgrown farmland, and the third part with paths that surround the lava. Húsatóftavöllur is located in a crack area and opens majestic ravines facing golfers on many courses of the upper course. It can be said that this is a true natural pearl because it stands on the plate divide where the Eurasian album and the American album meet in all their glory. The course is considered rather easy on the foot.

We played on July 12, 2024. We had a 7 AM tee time, which was way earlier than anyone else, but the course superintendent Helgi greeted us with a hot cup of coffee and some very interesting and useful information about the golf course. The course itself was a hidden gem. It was in excellent condition with lush fairways and nice greens. And while the scorecard may make the course look a little on the short side, the persistent wind along the coast adds teeth to make the course seem much longer. The views are phenomenal as you are surrounded by lava fields and the ocean. The front 9 plays amongst the lava rocks and provides quite a challenge as any ball not on the fairway was destined to stay in Iceland longer than me. The elevated tee boxes on several holes provided great views of the surrounding area and made club selection a challenge. The back 9 eventually heads out to the coast line highlighted by a monster of a par 5 (hole 16), which seemed to play about 700 yards into the wind. A 6 on that hole feels like a really good score. And if you like bird watching, there were many native species living along the coastal holes as well. Grindavik Golf Club was not on my list of courses to play initially, but I am glad I did and will play it every time I come back.
