Keilir Golf Course is a links golf course located by the beautiful seaside in the fishing village of Hafnarfjörður, not far from Reykjavík city.

In 1967, the Keilir Golf Club was founded on a majestic land on the Hvaleyri peninsula, and at first it was a nine hole course surrounded by small farms. With help from the Hafnarfjordur town council, the golf club was eventually able to acquire the land for the course. A new 12 hole golf course was designed on the land by the Swedish golf designer Nils Skjöld in 1971, and in 1997 the front nine in the lava field was constructed, making it the top quality 18 hole golf course it is today.
