From the Weekly Information page, you will find the latest updates from the course, including course maintenance information, opening hours, and practice area maintenance schedules. Vanajanlinna Golf officially opened for the 2026 season on Monday, May 4th. A warm welcome!
COURSE
Course maintenance is a continuous adaptation to changing conditions: heatwaves, frost, heavy rain, thunderstorms, as well as the daily challenges related to staff, machinery and systems. Everything must work seamlessly in order to provide a high-quality playing experience — something we continuously strive for.
During the spring, several improvement projects have also been completed around both the clubhouse area and the course to further enhance the player experience.
Around the clubhouse area:
- Edge finishing around water hazards
- Pathway edging works around the clubhouse
- Landscaping improvements between the range chipping green and the villas
- Establishment of a meadow flower area
- Reshaping of the front area of the driving range
On the course:
- Path edging work is nearly completed (final sand finishing and levelling still ongoing)
- A new stone feature with plantings has been built at Tee 3
- Decorative edge stones installed on the bridge at Hole 18
- Insect hotels built by the greenkeeping team have been placed around the course
The greens are currently in excellent condition for this time of year. Greens are being cut at a height of 3 mm, and the Stimpmeter reading measured on Monday, May 26th was 10.2 ft.
While the exceptionally dry spring conditions and limited rainfall slightly slowed fairway growth earlier in the season, the course has responded very well to the improving weather conditions. As we approach summer, the playing surfaces throughout the course are already in excellent condition and continue to develop towards peak playing quality.
Golf carts are available weather permitting.
DIVOT FILLING
Golf is the perfect way to clear your mind and enjoy nature — but did you know the course can become stressed too?
Unrepaired divots put additional strain on the turf, increase the risk of turf diseases and slow down recovery. Please remember to repair your divots and leave a positive mark — both on the course and on the experience.
