Cliff-edge hole glowing in late sun

Hole 4: Sundin

Not long. Never simple. On Brautarholt the sea, the rock and the wind are the defence, and they change their minds every hour.

The makers

Laid on the land, not carved into it.

Icelandic architect Edwin Roald routed the course around the edge of Músarnes to meet the sea as often as the land allowed. Michael Kelly shaped the original holes onto the rock and water rather than flattening them. Since 2022 Tony Ristola has shaped the newest holes by hand, heading north along a ridge of ancient basalt.

Risk and reward with Reykjavík on the skyline. The further left you aim, the longer the carry and the shorter the approach. Downwind, the green is in range.

Local knowledge · from the clubYour line depends on how ambitious you are: the further left you go, the greater the carry. The fairway opens up to the left, so aim at the left side of the visible fairway. Downwind, you may get close to the green. Approach from the left, and don't go long with your second or you'll find the water.

The nameReykjavík across the water, over the sounds where the old Kjalarnes volcano's caldera once lay.
