Golf Club Grindavik was founded on the 14th of May 1981.
Husatoftavollur
is a 13 hole golf course situated 4 km from
the Blue Lagoon on the Reykjanes peninsula.
The golf course offers vast diversity in scenery where the American
plate and the Eurasian plate meet. The first five holes stretch along
the coastline and the other eight are above the highway where they
slither into the lava which surrounds the fairways and greens. At last
the five holes along the coast are played again to finish the 18 holes.
The golf course is
therefore full of contrasts with a part of it representing a
typical links course and the other part an enticing lava
course.
The golf course is
rather easy to walk even though it is beautifully built into
the hilly landscape with a breathtaking view.
Husatoftavollur offers memorable
experience for all high handicap and low handicap golfers in
relaxing surroundings.
Grindavík is one of the most important
fishing ports of Iceland. Tourism plays an increasing role and commerce and
light industry thrive well. Grindavik boasts of the small park Solarve near
the swimming pool. It was built in an ancient fashion and is dedicated to
the old culture. Algerian buccaneers came robbing and plundering in 1627.
Just a century (1652) before the Icelanders, Danes and Germans united
against the English, who were driven away after a bloody battle |
