The Korpa Golf Course

The Korpa Golf Course is one of the latest 18-hole additions to this golf-hungry nation. It opened in 1997 and has already established itself as one of the best golf courses in the country. The course is situated on a land that was used as a cattle farm in the early 1930’s and was the largest of its kind in Scandinavia. There are two distinct nines on the course. The front nine reach down and run along the beautiful coastline of the Atlantic Ocean with stunning views of Reykjavík´s signature mountain, Esja. The Korpa course was designed by Iceland´s premier golf course architect, Hannes Thorsteinsson and is 6.600 yards (6.035 m) par 72 from the back tees and is a great challenge for low and high handicap golfers alike. Facilities include locker rooms and excellent dining areas. Golf club and cart hire are also available.
