Golf in Faroe Islands
Including Toftir Golf Course. On the map.
The vibe
Playing here is a surreal, windswept experience where the course is carved directly into the rugged coastal landscape, making the environment your primary opponent. The best time to play is during the long, temperate days of summer when the grass is green and the light stretches late into the evening. It is a surprisingly accessible and low-key affair, feeling like a local secret rather than an exclusive or manicured sporting event.

Situated on the island of Eysturoy near the village of Toftir, this scenic 9-hole course delivers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding fjords and steep mountainsides. The layout makes clever use of the dramatic local topography, challenging golfers with tight fairways and deep rough. It captures the raw beauty of Faroese landscapes in a peaceful setting.
Access. Reached via the regional road network from Tórshavn through sub-sea tunnels to Eysturoy, followed by a short drive to Toftir. Tee times can be arranged directly with the local club.
Notes. Best played during the long daylight hours of summer. Wind conditions change rapidly.
