Meland Golf – One of Norway’s most beautiful and challenging golf courses!

Just a 30-minute drive north of Bergen, in the scenic municipality of Alver, you’ll find Meland Golf – a spectacular 18-hole course renowned for its beauty, challenges, and unique golfing experience. With a combination of demanding holes, varied terrain and breathtaking views – this is a course you won’t soon forget.

An unforgettable challenge

Meland Golf is known as one of Norway’s most demanding courses – but also one of the most rewarding. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton described his experience at Meland Golf as follows:

"Today I have played one of the most beautiful and difficult golf courses ever. And if you are going to be humiliated on a golf course, you should do it in such beautiful surroundings as Meland."

Viktor Hovland, when asked about Norway’s toughest golf hole on the "Fore!" podcast, responded:

"Hole 3 at Meland is pretty extreme. Last time I played there, I hit a 9-iron, a 4-iron, and then a 6-iron, haha!"

The course design challenges both precision and strategy, featuring:

• Unpredictable wind conditions
• Narrow fairways surrounded by forest
• Large, demanding greens
• Spectacular views and nature experiences
• No traffic or noise – at Meland Golf, you play in complete tranquility, surrounded only by the sounds of nature
• Less rainfall than in Bergen city center – Fløksand receives significantly less rain, providing better playing conditions

But don’t be intimidated – choosing the right tee box gives you a great chance at a solid score. The course offers six different tee boxes, ranging from the longest at 6,200 meters to a more manageable 3,500 meters, perfect for beginners or those seeking a relaxed round.

Play on your terms

To make your golfing experience as comfortable as possible, Meland Golf offers:

• 20 golf carts – available in all weather conditions, thanks to dedicated cart paths
• Trolley rental – both manual and electric trolleys
• Golf club rental – for right- and left-handed players, men and women

PING and Karsten Solheim’s connection to Meland Golf

Meland Golf has a strong partnership with PING, the golf brand founded by Karsten Solheim. Born in Austrheim, Nordhordland, Solheim emigrated to Seattle, USA, with his family as a child. He became an engineer and took up golf at the age of 42 after being invited by colleagues from General Electric. Struggling with putting, he developed his own revolutionary putter – laying the foundation for PING’s success.

Each year, Meland Golf hosts the "Karsten Memorial Ping Tournament", a prestigious event with up to 500 participants over three tournament days. During this tournament weekend, the Solheim family visits Meland Golf, honoring Karsten Solheim’s legacy in the golf world. The 13th edition of KMPT will take place at Meland Golf Club from June 20-22, 2025.
