The Arctic Open
The Arctic Open Golf Championship is an international event
which draws golfers - both amateur and professional - and
spectators from various parts of the world. Apart from the
magnificent natural scenery surrounding the Akureyri Golf Club, the
chief attraction of the tournament is the prospect of teeing off at
10pm thanks to the near-perpetual sunlight of the Icelandic summer.
First held in 1986, the Arctic Open celebrated its 20th anniversary
in 2006 with a record field. The venue has the distinction of being
the northernmost golf course in the world, as recognised by the
Royal Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews golfer's Handbook.
