July was host to our second annual Land of the Midnight Sun Experience. As one of our Signature Series Events it’s something we look forward to all year. 20 Golf Inspired Community Members from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, and Mississippi joined us North of the Arctic Circle for a 10 day experience across, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

For this experience we included five rounds of golf at top ranked courses in the region, including #80 in the world, Lofoten Links. But a Golf Inspired experience always has more than just golf. Our group also had the pleasure of experiences like a private chef dinner and guided tours of Copenhagen and Henningsvær. Our non-golfers experienced scenic hikes, a beach sauna, a visit to a viking museum, and more.

Travel Smarter, Golf Inspired.

Day 1: Oslo Golf Club

After arriving in Norway the day before, the group set out for their first round of the trip, Oslo Golf Club. Oslo Golfklubb, the oldest club in Norway, is a premier par-72 parkland championship layout that blends a classic parkland style with advanced turf technology.

After the round, the group met up at Nodee Sky, a Japanese-Norwegian fusion restaurant.

Day 2: Midnight Golf

The day started with flying from Oslo to Evenes. From there they rode in chauffeured up to Lofoten Links. The jounrey there is one of the most breath taking journeys you’ll ever see.

After arriving the group checked into a Fjord-Facing 14-person house with first class amenities. Dinner that evening was a BBQ prepared by a private chef.

The highlight of the day came at the end. Due to it’s global position, the sun never sets this time year, which can only mean one thing…. midnight golf at one of the best courses in the world!

Day 3: Exploring Lofoten

The third day had an open morning to enjoy breakfast and explore the area. The Golfers had an afternoon tee time on Lofoten while the non-golfers went to the Lofotr Viking Museum.

Lofotr Viking Museum

At Borg, on the island of Vestvågøya, sits the site where a farmer’s plough struck the ruins of an 83-meter Viking longhouse in the early 1980s — the largest building of its era ever discovered in Scandinavia. The reconstructed chieftain’s hall, shaped like an inverted longship and rebuilt on the original foundations, anchors what’s become Lofoten’s biggest attraction and a must-see stop on a trip through the islands. Inside, costumed guides and craftspeople bring the Viking Age to life through demonstrations, artifacts, and a short film on the excavation, while ancient-breed animals graze freely across the grounds. In summer, visitors can walk down to the water to see a full-size Viking ship replica and try their hand at rowing, archery, or axe-throwing. It’s an immersive, family-friendly detour that pairs naturally with a golf trip to Lofoten — swap the fairway for the fjord and step thirteen centuries back in time.

Lofoten Links

Golf doesn’t get more dramatic — or more remote — than this. Set on the island of Gimsøya well above the Arctic Circle, Lofoten Links is the most northerly golf course in the world, a true seaside links carved into a landscape of jagged peaks, white-sand beaches, and pounding North Atlantic surf. Designed by British architect Jeremy Turner and grown from a six-hole layout in the 1990s into a full 18 by 2015, the course has climbed steadily into Golf Digest’s World 100 rankings and is regularly cited among the top courses in Continental Europe. The signature moment comes early: the 140-meter par-3 2nd, where a two-tiered green perches on a rocky outcrop fronted by a single pot bunker — widely considered one of the most photographed holes in golf. Built into the rugged landscape, the course tests golfers against the elements like almost nowhere else, and it’s a walking-only experience by design, letting players feel every inch of the terrain.

Day 4: Henningsvær by Boat

The morning was open for those who wanted one more crack at Lofoten Links, with an optional 8am round for the golfers still chasing that scorecard. Non-golfers had their pick of a historic Viking walk, horseback riding along the beach, or a soak in the beach sauna — Lofoten has a way of making even a “day off” feel like an event.

In the afternoon, the group swapped clubs for life jackets and made the crossing to Henningsvær by RIB boat, weaving through the fjords to reach the “Venice of the North.” Known for its cluster of fishing houses perched across a handful of tiny islands, Henningsvær delivered exactly the kind of postcard scenery Lofoten is famous for.

Dinner that night was at Tobias Brygga, right on the quayside, before heading back for one last overnight at Lofoten Links.

Day 5: Farewell to the Arctic

After checking out of Kleppstad House, the group made the scenic four-hour transfer back to Evenes for their flight to Copenhagen, then continued on to Malmö, Sweden to kick off the next leg of the trip.

The group checked into Hotel Malmö Live, perfectly positioned steps from Malmö Central and the city’s beach, Ribersborg. That evening, everyone met up at Siesta Bar & Restaurant in the historic Old West neighborhood for dinner before an evening at leisure.

Day 6: Ljunghusens Golf Club

Golf day on the Falsterbo Peninsula. The golfers headed to Ljunghusens Golf Club, a heathland-links hybrid dating back to 1932, where the back nine plays out along the Baltic Sea. Meanwhile, the non-golfers set off for Fotevikens Museum, an open-air Viking village with 23 reconstructed buildings where guests could try their hand at archery, axe throwing, and Viking-era games.

The two groups reconnected for the evening at Badhytten Restaurant, a beach house tucked between the dunes at Skanörs Strand, starting with rooftop cocktails before sitting down to dinner.

Ljunghusens Golf Club

Ljunghusen means “house of heather,” and the course lives up to the name — dense clumps of heather and crowberry line the front two nines, while the closing holes run true links along the Baltic. The 27-hole facility has hosted its share of history too, including the European Men’s Team Championships in 2001, where Luke Donald set the course record with a 63.

Day 7: Barsebäck & Helsingborg

Another split day. Golfers headed to Barsebäck Golf Club’s Ocean Course, a 36-hole resort with championship-caliber golf and its own performance center, while the non-golfers made their way to Sofiero Castle in Helsingborg — the former summer residence of Prince Oscar and Princess Sophia, famous for its gardens and rhododendrons in bloom.

The non-golfers spent the rest of the morning walking Helsingborg itself, taking in the historic Sofiero Palace and the Norra Hamnen waterfront before regrouping with the golfers back in Malmö.

The group closed out the evening at Quan Restaurant, where Far East flavors met Continental European technique.

Day 8: Arrival in Copenhagen

After checking out of Hotel Malmö Live, the group made the short transfer into Copenhagen and checked into Hotel Sanders, a design-forward retreat just steps from Nyhavn and Tivoli Gardens.

With a few hours before official check-in, the group dropped bags and headed out to explore, starting with lunch at Café Sorgenfri, one of Copenhagen’s oldest pubs, tucked into a building rebuilt after the great fire of 1795. From there it was a walk past the Little Mermaid, the Royal Palace, and the harbour before an evening left open to explore the city at everyone’s own pace.

Day 9: Royal Copenhagen Golf Club

For the final round of the trip, the golfers teed off at Royal Copenhagen Golf Club — not just Denmark’s oldest club, but Scandinavia’s first, founded all the way back in 1898. Sixteen of the current 18 holes still carry the same routing they’ve had since 1928.

While the golfers were out, the rest of the group had a full day to explore Copenhagen on their own terms — shopping, canals, pastries, whatever the city called for.

Everyone came back together for a final night to remember at Café Victor, a Copenhagen institution since 1981 known as much for its people-watching as its French-Italian menu. A fitting last supper to close out ten days across three countries.

Day 10: Departure

Sadly, all good things must come to an end. With a short transfer to Copenhagen Airport, the group said their goodbyes and began the journey home, taking with them ten days of midnight tee times, fjord views, Viking history, and Scandinavian hospitality that will be hard to top.

If exploring Norway, Sweden, and Denmark under the midnight sun sounds like your kind of golf trip, give us a shout — we’d love to have you along for next year’s Land of the Midnight Sun Experience.
