Imagine a golf course so remote and enchanting that getting there is an adventure on its own. This is Lofoten Links, one of the world's most beautiful and hard-to-reach courses. Following the 2022 Open Championship, Viktor Hovland checked it off his bucket list and played Lofoten. With three friends, he embarked on a 22-hour road trip from Oslo to the Lofoten Islands, a scenic archipelago in northern Norway.

Lofoten Links isn't just a golf course; it's a masterpiece set in a remote fishing area. The course, where lush fairways meet rugged mountains and the Norwegian Sea, offers a golfing experience as stunning as the landscape. Unique for its Arctic Circle location, Lofoten Links offers 24-hour golf during the summer under the mystical midnight sun, setting it apart as a one-of-a-kind golfing destination.

Hovland's trip culminated in more than just scenic views and good times: He casually shot 8-under 63 to set the course record. While it might be just another day on the course for a pro golfer, this record had its own charm, subtly underscoring his status as Norway's best in a setting as remarkable as his golfing skills.
