After a difficult 2020, numerous foreign golfers came to Iceland in 2021.

Since 2011, the Icelandic Golf Association has managed the number of rounds by foreign golfers on Icelandic golf courses. The number of rounds increased steadily in the following years, from 1,900 in 2011 to 10,200 in 2019.

As most people know, the landscape changed with the advent of the global pandemic, which resulted in only 500 rounds played by foreign golfers in 2020.

However, in 2021, the number of rounds increased by 900% and foreign golfers played a total of 5,000 rounds. An even greater increase can be expected this year and it will be exciting to see how many people use websites such as Playgolf.is this year.
