Tromsø Golf Club
Tromsø
Tromsø Golf Club is one of Norway’s most memorable golf experiences and a proper bucket-list option for golfers who want something completely different. Set in Ramfjordbotn, around 45km from Tromsø, it is recognised as the world’s northernmost 18-hole golf course, with a spectacular Arctic setting framed by fjords, mountains and views towards the Lyngen Alps.
The course offers golf under the midnight sun, which is the big draw for many travelling golfers. In Tromsø, the midnight sun usually runs from around 20 May to 22 July, giving visitors the rare chance to play late into the evening, or even after midnight, in glowing Arctic light.
The golf itself is scenic, peaceful and more challenging than you might expect. The club describes a varied course with fjords, mountains, strategic bunkers, large greens and fairways that create an enjoyable test for both newer and more experienced golfers. This is not a typical resort round; it is about fresh Arctic air, wild scenery and a setting that feels properly special.
For a Norway golf holiday, Tromsø Golf Club works best as part of a wider Arctic travel experience. Tromsø adds city restaurants, culture, fjord trips, mountain views and summer adventure, making it ideal for golfers who want more than just golf.

About The Area
Tromsø is one of the most unusual golf destinations in Europe, sitting well above the Arctic Circle and surrounded by fjords, mountains and big Arctic skies. It is not a typical golf resort destination, but that is exactly the appeal: this is golf for travellers who want something memorable, wild and properly different.
The main venue is Tromsø Golf Club, promoted by Visit Norway as the world’s northernmost 18-hole golf course. The course is set in dramatic surroundings, with views towards the Lyngen Alps, and sits around 45 minutes from Tromsø Airport. It also offers equipment rental, a pro shop and facilities for golf activities, making it workable for visiting golfers rather than just locals.
The big selling point is Midnight Sun golf. During summer in Northern Norway, the sun can stay above the horizon for weeks, meaning golfers can play late into the evening or even through the night in natural light. Visit Norway explains that Northern Norway experiences up to 76 days of midnight sun between May and July, depending how far north you are.
Golf in Tromsø is highly seasonal, with the main playing window usually running from late spring to early autumn. For the full Arctic golf experience, June and July are the standout months thanks to the Midnight Sun. It is less about polished resort luxury and more about scenery, novelty and the story you get to tell afterwards.
Off the course, Tromsø is one of Norway’s great adventure bases. In summer, fjord cruises, hiking, kayaking and wildlife trips work well around golf. In winter, the city becomes one of Europe’s best-known Northern Lights destinations, with Visit Tromsø noting that aurora viewing is possible from September until early April.
For golfers seeking Arctic scenery, surreal summer daylight and one of the most distinctive rounds in world golf, Tromsø is a genuine bucket-list destination.
