Golf Along the Kjalarnes Coast

Brautarholt Golf Course sits on the Kjalarnes peninsula, about 30 minutes from central Reykjavík. The course winds through lava fields and alongside dramatic coastal cliffs overlooking the North Atlantic Ocean, with sweeping views towards Reykjavík, Mount Esja and the surrounding mountains.

First opened in 2012, Brautarholt was expanded to 18 holes in July 2025. The course has gained international recognition for its spectacular setting, while Iceland’s long summer daylight hours offer the opportunity to experience midnight golf.
