Järviseudun

The Mikko Autio-designed course at Jarviseuden Golfseuran is as unconventional as they come, with a par 39 front nine then a paddle ferry ride required to play the par 33 back nine on a promontory of Lake Piihamina.

Highlight holes on the front nine include the right doglegging par five 3d, with players having to negotiate a pond in the middle of the fairway as it bends towards the green, and the par three 9th which plays slightly downhill to an open green with a couple of bunkers positioned behind the putting surface.

On the back nine, there are two very small islands in the lake at the north end of the peninsula and they’re put to good use at the 10th and 12th, with the putting surface for both these par three holes located offshore, requiring a precise carry across water from tee to green.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
