The small town of Húsavík lies on the eastern shores of Skjalfandi Bay. In 1967, some locals decided to form Golfklúbbur Húsavíkur and their efforts resulted in the formation of a 9-hole course four years later.

In 1977, work started on a new golf pavilion which was completed soon after. In 1982 an equipment storage building was constructed then an irrigation system installed so the club progressed slowly but surely during its formative years.
In more recent times, the course has been renovated without drastically changing the layout and the clubhouse has been enlarged. Many times the notion of enlarging the layout to 18 holes has been discussed but the focus remains on making the current course the best it can be.
As it stands, the nine holes at Husavikur extend to 2,530 metres from the regular tees (2,232 metres from the forward tees) with par set at 35. There’s only one par five hole in play at the 436-metre 4th, which is sandwiched between par threes at #3 and #5.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
