Everyone deserves some time off from work to relax, decompress and spend time with friends, and that especially includes the best professional golfers in the world. 

Coming off of a T13 finish at the British Open, it appears as though Viktor Hovland is doing just that, but it comes at no surprise that he’s spending his break on a golf course.  

But Hovland isn’t paying a visit to your average golf destination this week. The 5th ranked player in the world appears to be back at the remote site of Lofoten Links, a golf course situated on the coast of the Norwegian island Gimsøya. 

In the summer months, the dreamlike links can be played at all hours of the day—even overnight—due to its unique location 95 miles above the Arctic Circle. 

Hovland, who grew up in Olso, Norway, drove 22 hours to the stunning track last summer, and he set the course record with an 8-under 63. 

No wonder the 25-year-old was compelled to come back. 

Accompanied by several friends—one of them furrier than the others—it appears as though Hovland is again having a glorious time at Lofoten. 

One of his playing partners even shared this wonderful snap of Hovland sitting in a golf cart, looking as content as can be. With the company of a rather adorable dog, Hovland can be seen pointing and laughing at his other pals, who are busy searching for a ball in some thick tall grass. 

Here are some other stunning photos posted by Hovland and his buddies from the rugged coastal course.

Have yourself a week, Viktor.
