Katinkulta (Nuas)

Laid out on a promontory of Lake Nuasjärvi, the 18-hole Nuas course at Katinkulta Golf was originally laid out by Jan Sederholm in the early 1990s then later redesigned by Jari Koivusalo.

Extending to 6,004 metres from the back tees, the Nuas course is laid out in an out and back fashion, with several holes reaching the shores of the lake (par fours at #1, #7 and #12, along with the par five at #17).

Back-to-back par fives at #4 and #5 eat up the duller ground furthest from the coastline and water comes into play in the shape of small ponds on several holes, most noticeably between #12 and #13 in the northernmost part of the property.

Highlight holes include the aforementioned quartet with greens on the lakeside, along with back-to-back par threes at #9 and #10. The severely right doglegged 18th provides a fine finish, playing to a heavily sand protected home green right in front of the clubhouse.
