About the club

Founded in 1992, the 18-hole course is located within the beautiful Urheilupuisto area, on the bottom of an open valley and a mere kilometre from the town centre. The Vähäjoki River runs through the course and the club is surrounded by other sports facilities such as tennis and football courts, an indoor sports hall, ice hall and a swimming hall as well as a riding stables. Our course is renowned for its long season, which usually spans from April until snowfall in the autumn. In 2003 our club was the host of the men’s and women’s Finnish stroke play championships. The course offers challenge for both club and competitive players. Although the general appearance of the course is flat, the various water hazards, ponds and creeks as well as the roughs give each fairway their own personality. There is a certain ascetic honesty to be found within the widths and routing of the fairways. The free blowing winds add to this effect. The out of bounds areas surrounding the fairways do somewhat disturb the natural and plain appearance of the course.
