Norway
Golf in Norway: They say that skiing is as important to the Norwegians as cycling is to the Dutch, a logical assumption when snow covers the whole country for a good part of the year. Despite this, the west coast can be surprisingly mild thanks to the warming influence of the Gulf Stream. You can play golf between April and October from Bergen to Oslo. Opening dates depend entirely on the thawing frost and snow. To make the most of your golfing trip, and to help in your planning, you can look up the location of the best courses in Norway on our customised maps.
