Kjekstad Golfklubb

Overview: Located near Røyken in southern Norway, Kjekstad Golfklubb is a highly scenic 18-hole woodland course. Carved through dense pine and spruce forests, the layout features dramatic elevation changes, tight, heavily restricted fairways, and small, well-defended putting surfaces. The course is a severe test of target golf, requiring players to execute precise shots over deep ravines and rocky chasms to find the secluded greens.

History: Founded in the late 1980s, the course was built to establish a premier competitive venue in the Buskerud county. The construction required extensive dynamite blasting to route the holes through the steep, rugged Norwegian terrain, creating one of the most physically demanding layouts in the region.

Did You Know? The course is built on a massive, highly stable rock foundation. Because of the thin topsoil, the fairways drain instantly, providing incredibly firm, fast-playing conditions that are highly unusual for a dense woodland environment.
