Designed by Jeremy Turner and completed in 2000, the Kongsberg golf course is part parkland, part woodland in character. The local landscape is rather flat, so the architect installed mounding and bunkering during construction to improve the visual aesthetics.

Kongsberg

It is located just outside of the former town of silver mining of Kongsberg near the Numendal River, Kongsberg Golf Course is a parkland-like, partly woodland design by Jeremy Turner that first opened to the public featuring nine holes, in the year 1998. In just two years it was a layout of 18 holes operating, and there were over 70 bunkers spread across the entire property.

The course is less than 6,000m in length. It plays to a par 72 and the holes are laid up as two return nines that begin and end with the par five hole. The course is flooded at many holes, with the most notable at the 7th hole, which measures 139 metres, and 133-metre 14th holes, where lakes protect the greens on both of these par three holes.

The holes of the week include back-to-back par fours on the 3rd hole and the 4th hole; the slightly left-handed doglegging par five 9th with a stroke index of 1; The longest three-par hole hole on the course at 189 metres on the 11th, with five bunkers on the greenside to protect the putting surface and the closing hole, 484 meters long that is slightly left to the home green, which is located in the front of the clubhouse.
