Kristiansand Sports


The most popular sport in Kristiansand is of course football and Start is their biggest and best team. It competes in the National league. There are many playing fields in and around Kristiansand - so it is easy to find somewhere to practise. There are also indoor football clubs and the most popular place to practise is Spicheren Treningssenter near the centre of town.

There are a range of other sports the people of Kristiansand partake in. One unusual sport (as far as foreigners are concerned) is when the locals practise cross country skiing on the side of the road with special skis on wheels. Not sure what they are called, but it is a very popular past time during the summer months for the dedicated skiers.

Kristiansand Golf

Kristiansand Golf Club

The Kristiansand Golf Course is a 9 hole course of good quality in broken country with good greens. Summer guests are strongly recommended to pay a visit to this coastal sea-way with historical roots far back into time as a means of communication for dwellers on the coast.

Address: Dvergsnesveien 125 - 4638 Kristiansand - Tlf. +47 38 14 85 60
Directions: Approximately 1 km east on E 18 from the Varoddbridge. Take RV 401 towards Høvåg. After a few 100 metres take a right towards Dvergnes, follow the sign «Golfbane». Scenery and environment in abundance. Kristiansand Zoo is Norway´s most frequently visited attraction.

Bjaavaan Golf Club

Bjaavann Golfklubb wishes all visitors welcome to play our fabulous Robert Trent Jones II designed golf course.

We are situated only 6 km from Kristiansand airport (KRS) and 15 km from downtown Kristiansand.

The 18 hole/par 71 course was opened June 2006 and is landscaped around the idyllic Bjaavann lake. From the clubhouse you can overlook 14 of the holes and water is in play at almost all the holes.

Upon reviewing the construction progress, Robert Trent Jones Jr. stated:

"The good people of the Bjaavann Golfklubb have truly provided us with a wonderful canvas to create golf art. This extraordinary site embodies all the many beautiful characteristics with that Norway is blessed. It is our job to merely discover and unveil a great golf experience while respecting Mother Nature."

While the golf course embraces the natural gifts of the site, such as rock outcroppings, beautiful stands of mature trees, meandering rivers and the fjord-like lake, it is the excitement and challenges (and unfortunately sometimes the frustration) the golfer encounters throughout this lovely journey that truly creates lasting memories for all those lucky enough to play the course.

No wonder only one other course in Norway is rated higher according to the Rolex World’s Top 1000 Golf Courses.

The course has a nice clubhouse with restaurant and ProShop, driving range and putting & chipping green. Buggies are available with priority for impaired players (at subsidized price). Golf clubs and trolleys are available for rent.

Kristiansand enjoys a mild costal climate and the course is open most of the year. During the summer months we have lots of light and golfing at late night (until 23:00) is possible.
