Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Linna Golf in Hämeenlinna, Finland. Explains that "most golf course development in Finland...has been relatively low-key." States that Linna Golf is "set alongside Finland's only country house hotel...the golf course, which opened at the end of the 2005 season, is a high-spec development aimed possibly at attracting a European Tour event." Mentions potential challenges to constructing a golf course in Finland, explaining that "constructing a golf course at these latitudes presents its own challenges. Winters in Finland are long and cold, with temperatures dropping to 25°C [Celsius]. The golf season is correspondingly short - only five months on average, although the 24-hour daylight of midsummer does mean that a lot of golf can be played in those months!" Highlights several holes. Concludes that "respected Finninsh commentators have suggested that Linna will probably be considered the country's best, and it is a fine example of a modern championship-scale golf course that does not overwhelm its landscape or give the impression of having been built with no thought to its surroundings." |
