Midnight Golf in Iceland: Teeing Off at 10:00 PM at Keilir Golf Club
What a beauty. The clock reads exactly 21:35 (9:35 PM), the evening skies are perfectly clear, and instead of getting ready for bed... we are heading to the first tee!
We will tee of at 22:00 (10:00 PM)
Hello friends! You guys have been asking us to show you our home course for a long time, so we decided to do something truly special. Tonight, we are taking you with us to play Keilir Golf Club, and we are doing it right through the middle of the night.
This is one of the only places on earth where you can tee off late in the evening and play 18 holes completely bathed in sunshine.
Watch the full midnight adventure and see if we can still make pars at 1:00 AM:
How Does Midnight Golf Actually Work? (The 2 AM Logistics)
If you are planning a golf trip to Iceland, playing under the midnight sun is the absolute ultimate bucket list experience. But how does it actually work? Can you really see your golf ball in the middle of the night?
Yes! Because Iceland is located so far north, the peak summer months give us nearly 24 hours of continuous daylight. The sun barely dips below the horizon before it starts coming right back up. You never lose sight of the ball!
Here is the exact timeline of our late-night round:

Exploring Our Home Course: Keilir Golf Club
We are so incredibly proud to call Keilir Golf Club our home. It offers a massive, beautiful contrast in the landscape that you simply cannot find anywhere else.

The front nine is a true Icelandic adventure it weaves its way directly through a rugged, ancient lava field, demanding absolute precision off the tee. Then, as you make the turn to the back nine, the course opens up onto a beautiful green peninsula with spectacular views of the ocean.
Standing on the green around midnight, watching the sun touch the horizon and paint the sky in breathtaking colors, is a feeling we cannot even fully describe. It is pure, joyful magic.
Hopefully, the midnight sun brings us some good luck and great golf shots tonight!
