Golf courses in Oslo & South Norway

Oslo and Southern Norway make up the country's golfing heartland, the most accessible and densely served part of a nation better known for fjords than fairways. Centred on the capital and reaching down along the gentle southern coast and around the broad Oslofjord, the region holds an impressive 97 courses, by far the largest concentration of golf in Norway. The setting is classic Scandinavian: fairways threaded through pine and birch forest, alongside lakes and granite outcrops, and along a sheltered southern shoreline of islands, skerries and pretty white-painted coastal towns.

Golf here is a summer pleasure. The season is concentrated in the long, light months from late spring to early autumn, when the famously long Nordic daylight allows rounds to stretch well into the evening. Courses range from established parkland layouts near Oslo to relaxed holiday clubs along the Sorlandet coast, popular with Norwegians escaping to the sun in summer. For the travelling golfer, the appeal lies in the combination of well-kept, walkable courses, clean forest-and-sea scenery and that endless northern light, all within easy reach of a lively, design-conscious capital. It is golf in a calm, green and distinctly Scandinavian key.
