Larvik

Larvik Golf Club is set on the edge of Larvik Fjord and is naturally influenced by sea breezes. The 6,868-yard course opened for play in 1993 and Swede Jan Sederholm designed it.

666 may be the Number of the Beast according to the Book of the Revelation but in Larvik’s case it represents an equal half dozen par threes, fours and fives on the intriguing scorecard. Host to a European Challenge Tour event in 2006 and the SAS Ladies Masters in 2009, Larvik can represent a fearsome test when it is set up in its championship livery but from the forward tees the flat and links-like Larvik remains playable for the handicap golfer, except perhaps when the wind is up.

Key to scoring well is to find the smallish greens which are generally narrow and well protected at the entrance. With plenty of water and numerous bunkers in play, Larvik is a demanding course and with its unusual 666 configuration it’s not only one of Norway’s finest tracks but also one of great variation and interest.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

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.
