GIMSØYA · THE LONG DAYS
When the day
doesn’t have to end.
Midnight-sun golf at Lofoten Links. A different way to spend a summer evening.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF EVENING
Let the light
set the pace.
Most rounds of golf have a natural deadline: the daylight runs out. In the Lofoten summer, that familiar rhythm changes. A late tee time becomes a way to experience the coast while the rest of the day falls quiet.
Lofoten Links sits on Gimsøya, where the course meets the sea. The setting is part of the experience: open water, exposed ground and a horizon that keeps drawing your eye away from the next shot.
THE MIDNIGHT SUN
An evening
with room to continue.
The course offers golf under the midnight sun during the summer light season. Exact playing times and availability should be checked directly with Lofoten Links before you plan your visit.
Think about the evening as a whole. Leave time for the journey, bring layers for an exposed coastal setting and choose a tee time that gives you room to enjoy the surroundings.
PLAN YOUR ROUND
Make space
for Gimsøya.
For golfers, this can be a memorable part of a stay in Lofoten. For a mixed group, discuss everyone’s plans before committing to a full round. A beautiful setting does not mean the same activity suits every traveller.
Ask the course about current tee times, equipment hire and playing requirements. We have left out changing rankings, prices and fixed driving times so you can plan with current information.
