STAVANGER <strong>GOLF</strong>KLUBB<br />

Stavanger Golf Club is situated a mere 5 km from<br />

Norways oil capital and former fishing town of the same<br />

name. Having been founded in 1956, Stavanger is one of<br />

Norway’s oldest golf clubs lying in the quiet neighbourhood<br />

of ‘Store Stokkavann’ lake in breathtaking natural<br />

surroundings where fjords, mountains and long, white<br />

beaches compete for the visitors attention.<br />

The tree-lined course, designed by British architect Fred<br />

Smith, is of a relatively tight layout demanding a good<br />

eye and a precise tee shot. Numerous elevated tees,<br />

small greens, strategically placed bunkers and undulating<br />

fairways add to the test while blending smoothly into<br />

the beautiful natural vegetation of pine and fir. Thanks to<br />

its climate and location by the waterfront, the Stavanger<br />

course poses a windy challenge accompanied by magnificently<br />

diversified views across the landscape.<br />

The Stavanger course has been ranked among the<br />

nation's best for years and many national and international<br />

championships have been held here. Besides<br />

professional services like a TrackMan 4 simulator, an<br />

indoor putting green, professional coaching and a pro<br />

shop, Stavanger Golf Club welcomes guests in the<br />

Farmhouse Restaurant, which serves a variety of international<br />

foods as well as local specialties.<br />

Stavanger Golfklubb, stiftet 5.april 1956, er landets nest<br />

eldste 18 hulls golfbane (1963). Stavanger Golfklubb ligger<br />

idyllisk til ved Store Stokkavatn, kun 5 kilometer fra Stavanger<br />

sentrum. Banen, par 71 og i underkant av 6000 meter, er<br />

kompakt og gir utfordringer og spilleglede både for nybegynner,<br />

den mer etablerte og profesjonelle golfspilleren. En<br />

trelinjet design av arkitekt Fred Smith gjør at man trenger ett<br />

godt øye og ett presist utslag. Små greener,forhøyede tee<br />

steder og vell plasserte bunkere gjøre denne banen til en god<br />

test av ditt golfspill. Takket være vårt klima på vest-kysten<br />

av Norge gjør at denne banen kan øke i vanskelighet når<br />

vinden tar seg opp.<br />

Stavanger Golfklubb har blitt rangert blant Norges beste<br />

baner flere år på rad, og flere mesterskap har blitt arrangert<br />

her. Ved siden av profesjonelle tilbud som PGA utdannete<br />

trenere, Trackman 4 simulator, innendørs puttegreen og<br />

Pro Shop, ønsker Stavanger Golfklubb velkommen til vår<br />

Farmhouse Restaurant som serverer høy kvalitet mat både<br />

internasjonalt og lokalt.<br />
