A Competitive Edge

The Arctic Open plays as a 36-hole championship and is played using the Stableford point system. Within two days golfers take part in two rounds of the competition that go on for hours even at night because of the 24-hour sunlight that is present during Iceland summer. The tournament comes with plenty of categories hence it means that a wide range of participants can partake in the competition regardless of their skill level. Apart from awarding the overall champion golfer with the most competitive net score, prizes are also given to the best lady golfer, best senior golfer (over the age of 55), and best scratch golfer, thus creating several chances for the players to showcase their abilities.

The Midnight Golf Experience

One of the most breathtaking aspects of the Arctic Open Golf Tournament is the midnight golf experience. This feature alone brings in participants from all over the world wanting to play golf at a time when normally the sun would be setting and not everyone would be able to make their shots. The midsummer season brings an exceptional ambience to the high-latitude Akureyri, where the sun does not fully set. Golfers place their tees at a late time in the day but due to the abuse of daylight, it allows them to complete the games as a bright new day no longer remains.  It is sure to be a new experience that most people will cherish for as long as they can remember. Why Participate? For golfers looking to switch things up and not just a regular tournament, the Arctic Open Golf 2025 successfully marries difficulty with novelty. Apart from its location, the activity also reinforces friendship among teammates even though they play from different parts of the world. The opening reception, followed by a presentation dinner where prizes were awarded to the best performers – This is an effective way to send players off from the competition as there are drinks, congratulations and why not simply partying.

As a bonus, the tournament provides its participants a practice round prior to the main event as well as a unique “golfer’s gift” for being a part of this unique tournament. The Arctic Open offers a great experience whether you love golf or are just looking for something a little different.
