Start playing golf

Could golf be your new hobby?

We've made it easy to get started with golf. The "Golfer in a Day" beginner course guides participants into the world of golf and gives good tools for starting your own golf journey. 5-hour courses are held throughout the summer, mainly on weekends, but you can also gather your own group and we'll agree on a course time that suits you. You don't need any prior experience with the sport to come to the golf course. It's enough to bring a happy, open mind, weather-appropriate clothing, and flat-soled shoes. The course price includes equipment rental as well as expert theory and practical instruction. You can also find more information about starting golf in the Golf Federation's Beginner's Guide!

What happens during the course?

As a sport, golf suits everyone, regardless of age or sporting background, and in principle anyone interested can take part in the "Golfer in a Day" course. For the youngest family members, however, we recommend first getting to know the sport through junior activities. The course teaches the basics of golf both in theory and practice, and lays a solid foundation for continued independent practice. When starting out, we follow the Finnish Golf Union's Beginner's Path, which gives new golfers the best tools for the journey toward a great, lifelong hobby.

To get the most out of the short and efficient course, we'll send those who have signed up a concise written package by email in advance, so it's worth getting familiar with the basics of golf beforehand.

On the beginner course, equipment is covered comprehensively; everything from the putter to the driver and shoes to the pitch mark repair tool. For buying equipment you'll get advice from the course instructor, and the caddie masters also help - feel free to ask! What comes after the course?

The course fee includes 10 buckets of balls on the range to get you well started with practice. It also includes 2 days of green fee on the par-3 course as well as rental clubs, so you can also practice your short game. For those who've completed the beginner course, we also arrange joint training sessions during the summer where the course's lessons are reviewed and questions are answered.
