Story
Grafarholt was built on lava-sculpted heathland that early members had to clear by hand before the first holes could be laid out. The reward was elevation — and with it, some of the most dramatic views from any fairway in Iceland. Locals joke that the wind at Grafarholt adds at least three extra clubs to every approach shot, making it a genuine test even for low handicappers.
