Miklagard Golf is home to one of the top championship golf courses in Norway. Here you'll experience a Robert Trent Jones II designed tournament course, capable of thoroughly testing amateurs and professionals alike.
Miklagard's big dimension layout roams across predominantly open and pleasantly undulating parkland terrain. Excellent presentation and plenty of rolling elevation change underpins the modern stadium-style layout. Plenty of length from the tips will test the longest hitters.
An attractive variety of skilfully crafted and challenging holes ensures both a memorable and challenging round, with an attractive collection of straightaway and doglegging holes in the mix. The bunkering is generally deep and plentiful, with another significant test provided by the large, fast and undulating greens.

Miklagard Golf is located close to the town of Kløfta in Ullensaker municipality, an area with strong historical traditions dating back to the Viking Age. The name Miklagard itself, is taken from the Viking name for Istanbul. When Vikings sailed into the Golden Horn, in what was then called Constantinople, they marvelled at the huge city walls facing them. The city was the largest the Vikings had encountered, and was aptly named Miklagard, "the Great City".
All the holes on Miklagard Golf are named after Norse gods and kings. The signage, buildings and even aspects of the course are also inspired by Norse history.
Norway's 2nd best course (Golf Digest, 2022).

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
