Brautarholt Golf Club — Reykjavík
About Brautarholt Golf Club — Reykjavík
Brautarholt Golf Club is Reykjavík's most centrally located course — a compact 9-hole layout that punches above its weight in terms of setting and enjoyment. Perfect for golfers who want to fit in a quick round during a short visit, or families and beginners looking for a low-pressure introduction to the game. The course offers beautiful views of the surrounding Reykjavík neighbourhoods and nearby Öskjuhlíð hill. Equipment hire is available and no booking is required for casual play, making it the most spontaneous golf option in the capital.
Story
Brautarholt has long been the everyman's golf course of Reykjavík — the place where school trips learn to swing a club, where office workers sneak out for a twilight nine, and where first-timers discover that golf in Iceland is rather different from golf anywhere else. The course is short enough to walk in an hour, but compelling enough that most players end up going round twice.
