Hauger Golf Club Webcam – Check the Course Near Oslo

The Hauger Golf Club Webcam looks out over Hauger Golfklubb near Slattum in Nittedal, a parkland course about 20 kilometers (12 miles) northeast of central Oslo. From a raised position the camera faces south-southwest across several holes: rolling fairways, pale sand bunkers, round putting greens and the curving cart paths that tie them together, with a winding water hazard along the right of the frame and a lone round-crowned tree in the foreground. Forest, farmland and a long wooded ridge close off the view. The scene shifts a great deal through the year. Autumn mornings leave frost in the shaded hollows long after the fairways have thawed, winter turns the whole course white, and in the playing season golfers and their trolleys often cross the picture between the greens.

About Hauger Golf Club

Hauger Golfklubb was founded in 1988, and its 18-hole course opened in 1998. The layout is the work of Jeremy Turner, who has designed many Scandinavian courses, and it plays as a par 72 across rolling parkland with plenty of changes in height. The center of the course sits about 137 meters (449 feet) above sea level on a south-facing slope. The opening holes run along tight, tree-lined fairways, the par 4 1st and the par 3 5th are played from raised tees that look down on their greens, and the 13th, a 439-meter (480-yard) par 4 that climbs all the way from tee to green between a steep bank and a line of trees, is reckoned to be the hardest hole on the card.

In August 2011 the club staged the first Norwegian Challenge, an event on the European Challenge Tour, with the course stretched to 6,412 meters (7,012 yards). It was the most northerly venue on that season’s Challenge Tour schedule. Hauger has also hosted the Nordic Championship and Norway’s national junior championship, and the club points to rankings by Scangolf and Golf Digest that placed it first among Norwegian courses. Alongside the main course there is a six-hole pitch and putt, a driving range and a short-game and putting area, and the clubhouse restaurant, Hauger Matstue, doubles as a venue for weddings and other large occasions.

Nittedal itself is a largely forested municipality of 186 square kilometers (72 square miles) on both sides of the Nitelva river, directly northeast of Oslo. The Gjovik Line railway reached the west side of the valley in 1902, and the villages of Hagan, Slattum, Rotnes and Hakadal follow one another from south to north up the valley. The golf course lies about 3 kilometers (2 miles) east-southeast of Slattum village.

Weather and Climate at Hauger Golf Club

Nittedal has an inland climate with cold, snowy winters and mild summers. Averages for 2016 to 2025 at the course, from the Open-Meteo weather archive, put January highs around -1°C (30°F) and lows near -7°C (19°F), and snow can fall from October into May, with most of it between November and April. Through the winter the camera usually shows the course under snow, the fairways and bunkers softened into gentle contours and the water hazard liable to freeze over. Around the winter solstice the noon sun climbs less than 7 degrees above the horizon and daylight lasts only about six hours, so even the midday picture is dim and the view is dark for most of the day.

Average highs reach about 10°C (50°F) in April, with nights still close to 0°C (32°F), and about 16°C (61°F) in May, when the fairways start to green up. July is the warmest month, with highs around 21°C (70°F) and lows near 12°C (54°F), and late June brings close to 19 hours of daylight. Summer and early autumn are also the wettest stretch of the year: July, August, September and October each average more than 100 millimeters (3.9 inches) of rain. By October highs have dropped to about 9°C (48°F) and by November to about 3°C (37°F), and frosty mornings like the ones the camera shows in late autumn become common.

Things to Do Near Hauger Golf Club

The golf season at Hauger runs from spring into the autumn. In 2026 the course closed for the winter on 21 October, and the club posts the current status of the course, the driving range and the practice areas on its website. The six-hole pitch and putt and the range suit a shorter visit.

The forests around Nittedal are the main draw for everyone else. Varingskollen, a 546-meter (1,791-foot) ridge on the eastern edge of Nordmarka that rises steeply above Hakadal in the north of the municipality, runs a ski resort with cross-country trails and equipment rental in winter and is a hiking and mountain biking hill in summer, with a Gjovik Line station at its foot. Hakadal is also a common starting point for trails deeper into Nordmarka, the large forest north of Oslo, and lakes such as Movatn are popular goals for a day walk. To the south, Nittedal borders Lillomarka, another network of forest trails, and central Oslo is about 20 kilometers (12 miles) to the southwest.
