Golf travel for groups

Åland Golf Club

For two years, Ålands Golfklubb has been rebuilding there 18-hole course Castle Corse (Slottsbanan), and in the summer of 2020, the completely renovated course opened. The course has also been chosen as one of the playing courses for a sub-competition of the Ladies European Tour which will be played in the autumn of 2022, the course will thus become a championship course.

The club hired Danish course architect Philip Spogárd who developed a new master plan for the course.
- Spogárd stated that they should use the bay Slottsundet, which the track runs along in a better way. He planned the course so that the water gets a much bigger part in the game than before, says Åsa Nordström at Ålands Golfklubb.
As an example, Nordström mentions new holes 9 and 10 which are located right next to Slottsundet. There you can - if you dare - cross the water to shorten the distance to the flag.

• Another big difference is that you can now see the sea from all 18 holes. There are also many places on the course where you have an absolutely fantastic view of the medieval Kastelholm Castle on the other side of the bay. We really benefit from our unique environment to 110 percent after the renovation, says Åsa Nordström, former club director at ÅGK.

Tactics become more important
Only one of the 18 new holes on Castle Course is located on land where there was no golf course before. The other holes have been planned where the old course was, but still the change is huge.
- In some cases, two old holes have been merged and become a new longer hole, and in some cases an old long hole has become two shorter holes. In some cases, you play the holes from a different direction than before. New tees and more undulating greens have been built and the opportunities for tactics have become greater. You can play the same hole in several different ways depending on how good you are as a golfer, says Nordström.

Course information

Two 18-hole courses, the newly renovated Castle Course/Slottsbanan, Kungsbanan and the short-hole course Prinsessan with 6 holes.

The Castle course is a park course and is considered one of Finland's best courses. The track runs along the water and is very beautiful. On the Castel course you play with the sea as your nearest neighbor and a view of Kastelholm Castle. The Castle course hosted the Ladies European Tour 2022.

Kungsbanan is a forest course that alternates open holes with tighter holes and is a partly hilly course. The course is fun to play as it is very varied.

Eckerö Golf

Eckerö Golf has chosen to build four different tees at all holes, which makes the course attractive to both beginners and experienced players.
- It should be fun to play even if you do not hit the ball that far. From tee 1, for example, the total length will be 3300 meters, while from tee 4 it will be approximately 5800 meters, says Mats Wahlin, chairman at Eckerö Golf.

Fine nature and rich wildlife
Characteristic of Eckerö Golf is that the course is flat and easy to walk. The first nine holes run in an open landscape while the last nine run through the forest.
- You experience great variations in both nature and wildlife while walking the course, says Wahlin and adds that you can discover pheasants, deer, sea eagles, marmots and dark ponds while playing the course.

Take a break before, after or between the rounds of golf. At the reception there is a kiosk where you can buy coffee, ice cream, beer, sandwiches etc.
