We always recommend visiting Pilkonpuisto Golf during the peak Finnish summer, from late June to early August. The course is in magnificent condition then, and you'll love the incredibly long daylight hours, sometimes even playing under the midnight sun. If you prefer fewer crowds and slightly cooler weather, late May or early September can also be fantastic.

Pilkonpuisto Golf is a fantastic course for golfers who appreciate thoughtful design over brute force. You'll find it's a relatively flat, park-style course that demands accuracy and smart club selection, especially around its well-guarded greens. Don't let the lack of extreme elevation fool you; the strategic bunkering and water features will keep you honest.
