Type: Parkland

Vestfold Golf Club was founded in 1958 and is one of the oldest 18-hole clubs in Norway. The present day championship course was fully modernised to US PGA standards in 2002 based on a design by the wily Jeremy Turner. This compact forest/parkland course is often reminiscent of a bit of England (probably due to the scattered mighty oaks, charming biotopes and George Beal, club pro for the past 25 years!). After the upgrade the course took on a whole new character with a fine combination of forest holes and mature parkland in a rhythmically undulating landscape, and as with most forest courses, vertical hazards abound. In 2003, Norsk Golf ranked Vestfold among the top three courses in Norway. The club hosted the Challenge Tour in 2004.
