Kragerø Resort Golf
Kragerø
Kragerø Resort Golf is a great option for golfers who want a Norway golf holiday with scenery, comfort and plenty to do away from the course. Set on the Stabbestad peninsula in Telemark, the resort looks out towards Kragerø and combines golf, spa facilities, restaurants, swimming pools and outdoor activities in one easy stay-and-play setting.
The 18-hole course is surrounded by forest and sits high in the landscape, giving the round a calm, open and distinctly Norwegian feel. Kragerø Resort describes it as one of Norway’s most distinctive 18-hole courses, suitable for both passionate golfers and newer players, while Visit Norway notes that the course opened in 2003 and forms part of a wider resort with holiday houses, tennis, mini golf, playgrounds and a spa hotel.
From the back tees, the course measures 5,428 metres and plays through a large wooded property, with tree-lined fairways, lakes, marshland and a strong closing hole helping to keep the round interesting. That makes it especially appealing for golfers who want a playable resort course rather than an overly punishing championship test.
For UK golfers, Kragerø works well as part of a longer Norway golf itinerary or a relaxed coastal break with golf built in. The wider Kragerø area is known for outdoor activities such as cycling, canoeing and fishing, so it suits groups where not everyone wants golf every day. Hashtag Golf Travel can help shape Kragerø Resort into a tailored Norway golf holiday, combining scenic golf, spa time and simple travel planning.

About The Area
Kragerø sits along Norway’s southern coastline and is known for its archipelago of small islands, rocky shoreline and relaxed summer atmosphere. Often referred to as one of Norway’s most charming seaside towns, it offers golfers a scenic coastal setting with one of the country’s most visually striking courses.
The standout venue is Kragerø Resort Golf, a championship layout designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. Set across rugged terrain overlooking the Skagerrak coastline, the course features dramatic elevation changes, exposed rock formations and panoramic sea views. Fairways are generous in places, but the layout demands careful positioning and precise approach play, particularly into well-protected greens. Several holes are routed along cliff edges, creating both visual drama and a memorable test of golf. The course is consistently ranked among the top in Norway and offers a true destination experience.
Golf in Kragerø is best enjoyed between May and September, when temperatures are mild and daylight hours are long, allowing for extended rounds in comfortable conditions.
Off the course, Kragerø’s appeal lies in its coastal lifestyle. Boat trips through the archipelago, swimming in sheltered bays and waterfront dining are all part of the experience. The town itself features galleries, cafés and a laid-back summer vibe, making it ideal for unwinding after a round.
For golfers seeking dramatic coastal golf, Scandinavian charm and a relaxed seaside atmosphere, Kragerø delivers one of Norway’s most scenic and enjoyable golf escapes.
