Lofoten Links, Norway
My very first visit to Lofoten, situated in the Arctic Circle, was back in 2012 with Troon Golf. The course was still under construction, but even back then there was a sense that we were witnessing the birth of something very special. I’ve since been back a further three times, with last year’s shoot for FootJoy possibly being the best trip so far. It really is my favourite place on the planet and the owner, Frode Hov, has become a really great friend. I remember on my first visit he asked me if people would like the course and travel that far to play it. The fact that it’s recently been voted as one of Golf magazine’s Top 100 Courses in the World most definitely answers that question.
