This year, Slottbanan at Åland Golf Club in Kastelholm was ranked the best golf course in Finland with all-time high results in all categories, including the most beautiful course, the best design and top condition.
The golf course ranking in Finland is made every two years among approximately 150 golf courses throughout the country. In this year’s ranking Slottsbanan advanced from its previous third position to the first. Additionally, the course has made it onto the list of Europe’s Top100 courses, with its 10th hole being arguably one of the best in Europe.
In the summer of 2020, Slottsbanan reopened after a comprehensive renovation, resulting in a very popular course that follows the seashore even more closely. Golfers praise the new course for its absolutely lovely stretch along Slottsundet Bay, where you have a view of the sea from all 18 holes. After four played seasons, thousands of rounds and a European tour, it is also clear that Slottsbanan is maintaining its high standards, especially on the greens. In addition to Slottsbanan, Åland also has Kungsbanan, a beautiful 18-hole course with forested grounds. The Prinsessan short hole course, with its six par 3 holes, is perfect for anyone wanting to give golf a try or work on their technique.
Changing rooms with a sauna, driving range, shop and restaurant are also available as well as the opportunity of taking golf lessons.
Golf in Eckerö
You can find even more beautiful greens and fairways at Eckerö Golf. Golfers of every skill level enjoy it here thanks to the four tees on the club’s 18-hole course. The first nine holes of the course are a bit easier, while the last nine are more challenging. There is a driving range and a service building with showers and accommodation in holiday cottages next to the course.
