Tyrifjord

Occupying a beautiful site on the island of Storøya, the fairways of the golf course weave through forest and parkland close to the waters of Tyrifjorden Lake The first tee shots on the course were played in 1994 when a 9-hole layout was inaugurated but it took only another couple of years before the number of holes at Tyrifjord was doubled, enabling golfers to enjoy the pleasure of competing on a full sized layout.

The opening three par four holes lead away from the clubhouse to Storøen Farm, the highest position on the island. Then, from the tee of the par five 4th, golfers are afforded fantastic views south towards Sylling before the fairway plunges downhill to the edge of the fjord.

First time visitors who think the front nine is pretty spectacular should be prepared for a pleasant surprise as the inward half is even more beautiful. This circuit features a testing par three at the 13th – where its three-tiered green has the potential to derail a good score – and a couple of lovely lakeside holes at 15 and 16.
