Golf Club Laki has its home golf course at Efri Vik, about 4 kilometres south of Kirkjubaejarklaustur, where the family has operated it privately since 1991.

Before the hamlet started developing at Kirkjubaejarklaustur the land was the property of a big farm called Kirkjubaer. In 1186 a convent of the Benedictine order was established and the conventual life continued until 1550, when the Icelandic people were reformed.
