Geysir - Iceland

I had a lovely, unexpected day playing 9 holes at Geysir in Sept. 2015. I was traveling in Iceland without clubs or the expectation of playing some golf, but happened upon Geysir when driving out-of-town from Reykjavik. I noticed the golf course on my way out, so I planned to stop in on my way back. With only 1-2 cars in the lot, I wasn't sure it was open, but I quickly met the owner of the course, a woman who could not have been nicer. When I noted I was only checking things out and not dressed for golf (sweatshirt and jeans!) she insisted in was nonsense and set me up with rental clubs, balls, tees, and an Icelandic beer for a very modest price. I enjoyed a spin around the course, where every few minutes an active Geysir erupts a stone's throw from the course, adding some regular amusement. The course layout was lovely and the conditions were about the most that could be expected in Iceland. There were a couple of holes with more intrigue than others and two rivers running through the course come into play on almost every hole of the 9-hole layout. I wouldn't go out of my way to play Geysir again, but if you're in the area and looking for a quick 9 in Iceland with some one-of-kind views, give Geysir a shot... or 37.
