About this course
Harstad Golfklubb sits in the town of Harstad in Troms county, well above the Arctic Circle in northern Norway. The course occupies terrain shaped by the region's dramatic topography, where coastal landscapes meet mountainous backdrops characteristic of this part of Scandinavia. Golf in these latitudes operates under unique conditions, with the midnight sun allowing play through much of the summer night and a compressed season dictated by northern weather patterns. The layout reflects the practical considerations of building and maintaining golf facilities in Arctic Norway, where designers work with natural contours and limited growing seasons. Courses at this latitude typically feature compact routings that maximize playability while respecting environmental constraints. The setting provides views across the surrounding fjord landscape and the peaks that define this coastal region. Harstad represents one of the northernmost golf facilities in the world, part of a small network of courses serving communities in Arctic Norway. The club functions as a local recreational amenity rather than a destination venue, offering residents and visitors the distinctive experience of playing golf under extreme northern light conditions. The course operates during the brief northern summer when temperatures and daylight permit, creating a concentrated season that shapes the rhythm of club life and maintenance practices in this remote location.

Getting there
The journey to Harstad Golfklubb begins at Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes (EVN), perched on a windswept plateau roughly an hour's drive north along the E10 coastal highway. The route traces the edge of Vågsfjorden, where the road alternates between tunnels carved through ancient granite and open stretches revealing the midnight sun's glow over Arctic waters. As you approach Harstad - one of Norway's northernmost towns - the landscape softens into rolling farmland and birch groves, and the final turn delivers you to a course laid improbably across terrain where the treeline meets the tundra, 150 miles above the Arctic Circle.
