Course Report
Hauger Golf Club has hosted famous professional tournaments including the Nordic Championship and Norwegian Challenge Tour, and welcomed legends like Seve Ballesteros, Padraig Harrington, and Bernhard Langer.
About
Hauger Golf Club, opened in 1988 and designed by Jeremy Turner, is a scenic 18-hole parkland course with hilly terrain and beautiful elevation changes near Oslo. The course is celebrated for its engaging routing, tricky stretches, and history of hosting major Nordic professional events and famous players. Practice facilities and clubhouse amenities are robust.
Caddie Tip
Play smart on the opening holes—tight, tree-lined fairways punish wayward shots and demand positional play. On the back nine, especially the 13th signature hole, favor accuracy over distance and allow for extra club uphill. Beware ponds on strategic holes and read the elevated greens carefully.
The Main Challenge
The hardest challenge at Hauger comes from its severe elevation changes and tight tree-lined fairways on early holes. Players must navigate strategic water hazards and undulating terrain, culminating in the demanding uphill par 4s, with the 13th hole especially testing both power and precision.
The Good
Golfers most appreciate Hauger’s sweeping elevation changes and panoramic views, which create thrilling tee shots and memorable strategic challenges. The parkland setting and rolling terrain make for an especially engaging round, and players regularly cite the friendly, welcoming atmosphere of the club.
The Not So Good
Some players mention that the terrain can be physically demanding, especially due to repeated uphill stretches. Wet spring conditions occasionally affect fairway quality, and improvement in drainage or turf conditions in high-traffic areas would further enhance the overall experience.
Signature Hole:
#
13
The signature hole at Hauger is the long par 4 13th, stretching 480 yards uphill from tee to green. The drive must be threaded between a large grass bank on the left and trees right, before a demanding approach to an elevated green. Two powerful shots are needed for a realistic chance at par.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse offers a cozy restaurant, lounge with fireplace, ample locker rooms, pro shop, and meeting spaces. There is an outdoor terrace overlooking the course and a welcoming environment for both members and visitors.
