Keilir Golf Club occupies the Hvaleyri peninsula at Hafnarfjörður. The club was founded in 1967 and initially developed a nine-hole course. Former Icelandic champion Magnus Guðmundsson is credited with the original layout.
Swedish architect Nils Skjöld was engaged in 1971 to design a new 12-hole course, and Hannes Þorsteinsson later contributed to the expansion to 18 holes. The present Hvaleyrarvöllur has been an 18-hole course since 1997 and plays to par 71. Its most distinctive division is between holes routed through exposed lava and holes crossing former farmland on the peninsula.
The course is an 18-hole links golf course. Designed by Magnus Guðmundsson and Nils Sköld, the course originally opened in 1967. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Restaurant, Locker rooms.
Keilir Golf Club was founded in 1967 after obtaining land on the Hvaleyri peninsula. Magnus Guðmundsson designed the original nine-hole course.
The modern course is unusual because its character changes sharply between the lava terrain and former farmland. The lava section relies heavily on the natural volcanic ground rather than conventional bunkering.
Nils Skjöld was brought in during 1971 to design a new 12-hole course. A new nine through the lava field was completed in 1997, producing the present 18-hole configuration. Hannes Þorsteinsson is also credited with the expansion work.
