Raussi Golf

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to experience Raussi Golf, especially for a first-timer?

You absolutely want to hit Raussi Golf during the Finnish summer, specifically from late June to early August. The long daylight hours mean you can play well into the evening, and the course is in prime condition, offering firm fairways and true greens. We recommend an afternoon tee time to truly appreciate the unique light.

What makes Raussi Golf's layout particularly challenging or memorable compared to other Finnish courses?

Raussi truly stands out with its clever use of natural Finnish rock formations and dense forest edges, particularly on the back nine. You'll find several holes demand precise shot placement to avoid penalizing granite outcrops and tight tree lines, making it a real test of strategy, not just power. The signature par-3 over a small lake is a beauty, but it will certainly test your nerves.

Is Raussi Golf a good value for the green fee, and what should I expect regarding costs?

We consider Raussi Golf an excellent value, especially given the pristine conditions and unique design you'll experience. Green fees are competitive for Finnish standards, typically ranging from 60-80 euros depending on the season and time of day. Club rentals are readily available and reasonably priced if you're traveling light.

How easy is it to get to Raussi Golf, and do you recommend staying nearby?

Raussi Golf is quite accessible, usually a straightforward drive from Helsinki, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. We recommend renting a car for the most flexibility, as public transport options are limited. While you can certainly make it a day trip, staying in a nearby town like Porvoo offers charming accommodations and a chance to explore more of the Finnish countryside.

After a round at Raussi Golf, what's your top recommendation for soaking in the local Finnish atmosphere?

After conquering Raussi, you absolutely must indulge in a traditional Finnish sauna, which many local accommodations or even some public facilities nearby offer. Follow that with a hearty, locally sourced meal - perhaps some fresh fish or game - at a small restaurant in a nearby village. It's the perfect, authentic way to unwind and reflect on your round.
