Onsøy Golfbane gives Manstad a clear focus on golf: the 18-hole course challenges beginners and experienced players alike and is surrounded by forest, sea and open countryside. A different perspective is offered by the Rundtur på Manstad, listed as week 4 in the municipal 52 lufteturer programme.
Golf at Onsøy Golfbane
Professional instructors offer courses and private lessons at Onsøy Golfbane. You can choose between a course and individual tuition, while the course itself challenges both beginners and experienced players. This gives the golf offering two distinct sides: a round on the 18-hole course and the opportunity to receive professional instruction.
The golf course also has a pro shop with a good selection of golf equipment and a restaurant serving meals. After your round, you can relax on the terrace. The facility therefore combines golf with options for before or after your game, without requiring another activity to be part of your itinerary.
The club regularly holds tournaments and social events. If you want to plan your stay around a particular club event, check the specific event dates in advance.
A hiking suggestion in the programme
The City of Fredrikstad lists the Rundtur på Manstad as week 4 in the 52 lufteturer programme. The programme offers a new hiking suggestion every week throughout the year. If you want to include the route in your plans, the week number can help you find it in the programme; check the specific description there as well.
More things to see in Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad also offers distinct cultural and historical attractions. Kongsten Fort was built there in 1685 as a bastion fortress and is considered one of Norway’s best-preserved bastion fortresses. A surviving covered way connects the fort to the main fortress. The Fredrikstad Museum, located in Tøihuset in the Old Town, has three exhibitions; Bar 1567 presents the city’s history in the form of a history bar.
The Old Town Model Railway in Fredrikstad features trains, landscapes, buildings, people and animals at a scale of 1:87. The display also includes a miniature of the Old Town. Alongside the history of the fortress and the museum, it offers another distinct perspective on the city: its buildings and landscapes depicted in miniature.
Fredrikstad’s maritime heritage is another attraction. Isegran is a centre for building and restoring wooden boats and has a museum harbour, where traditional boats are moored at the piers. The Maritime Center Fredrikstad offers guided tours with a boatbuilder, focusing on Isegran’s maritime heritage.
The guided tour about Hans Nielsen Hauge also includes several stops: his childhood home, the exhibition at the visitor centre, and then the field where Hauge had his famous spiritual experience. The tour lasts about 1.5 hours. In addition to fortress and city history, Fredrikstad therefore offers maritime craft history and a specific visitor experience with a defined duration.
