Solnør Golf Course

Solnør is the name of a farm in Skodje known since the Middle Ages; records show it belonged to the Giskegodset. The manor house was erected by Louis Daae in 1820 and has been declared a protected structure. Today the surrounding land is used as a golf course. A clubhouse for the members of Ålesund Golf Club has been added. According to the golf club's website, the course has 18 challenging holes. When Henrik Ibsen visited his wife’s relatives at Solnør in the summer of 1862, it is unlikely he came to play golf, but then the place may have inspired his famous piece Rosmersholm. Moldegård in Molde, however, also claims this distinction.
