When I turn me briefly about the flag on the Lofoten fifth green I read my line of putt and gazing straight north towards the sea. It is half past one in the morning, and I am dazzled by the midnight sun. A South African guest who had a similar experience was so taken that he left the track. The emotions were too strong. He had no time to play 144 holes.

Around the charmingly situated bunkers, stones, seaweed and sea. The seagulls are our audience. From the eighth tee, we can see the runway all nine flags. The green way down there is next to engage first and third most greens. It is so beautiful that I forget to watch the ball.

Lofoten is a perfect example of using what nature has given to create a special place to play golf rather than man interfering with machines that can move mountains.

Towards green wind has with it a smell of seaweed. Vertical stripes of silver light from above into the sea says that the sun does not give up even when it is cloudy. This is vacation.

A unique golf and nature experience recommended to all golfers.
