Brautarholt Golf Club Top 100 Review

Brautarholt Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course located 30 minutes from Reykjavik city center in Kjalarnes, Iceland. The course is set in dramatic Icelandic landscape featuring breathtaking coastal views, lava field rough, and clifftop vistas overlooking the ocean and city. Ranked 61st on GolfWorld's Top 100 Best Golf Courses in Europe (2025) and recognized by Golf Digest as Iceland's best course, Brautarholt offers a demanding yet picturesque layout with large, well-maintained greens. The course is characterized by its natural terrain, scenic hole design described as "postcard photo" quality, and challenging conditions. A notable feature is midnight sun golfing during Iceland's summer months (June and July), when 24-hour daylight enables play after 8pm. The course operates with a small pro shop and cafe, and offers rental clubs, carts, and trolleys. Its environmental commitment includes electric mowing equipment. The setting combines demanding golf with unparalleled landscape photography opportunities, making it a premier destination course.
