Frequently Asked Questions
When is the absolute best time to experience Hills and its unique Finnish setting?
We highly recommend visiting Hills during the peak summer months, from June to August. You'll enjoy incredibly long daylight hours, often playing under the midnight sun, which is a truly unforgettable experience unique to this part of the world. The course conditions are at their prime then, too.
What kind of challenge can I expect at Hills, and what makes its layout stand out?
Don't let the name fool you entirely; while there are some elevation changes, Hills is more about strategic play through its beautifully integrated forest and water features. You'll find a thoughtful design that rewards accuracy over brute strength, with several holes demanding precise shot placement to avoid trouble. It's a proper test, but always fair.
How accessible is Hills from Helsinki, and what amenities should I plan for during my visit?
Hills is conveniently located just a short drive-around 30-40 minutes-from Helsinki's city center, making it an easy day trip or a perfect first stop from the airport. The clubhouse offers excellent dining options for a post-round meal, and their practice facilities are top-notch if you want to warm up properly. We always grab a coffee before heading out.
Is playing Hills a significant investment, and what's included in the green fee?
Compared to many championship courses in Europe, Hills offers excellent value for the quality of golf and experience you receive. Your green fee typically covers 18 holes of fantastic golf, and you'll find the course meticulously maintained. We always feel it's money well-spent for such a memorable round in Finland.
Beyond the golf, what unique Finnish experiences can I combine with a trip to Hills?
After your round at Hills, we absolutely recommend embracing the Finnish tradition of a sauna-there are excellent public options nearby or many hotels offer them. You're also perfectly positioned to explore the surrounding nature, perhaps a short hike or a dip in one of Finland's pristine lakes, to truly round out your Nordic adventure.
