Forest and lake courses cut through pine and birch, a short hop from Helsinki, and the rare magic of playing under a midsummer sun that never quite sets. Finland is one of Europe's most distinctive and least crowded golf trips.
Finland is for the golfer after something different. The courses run through deep forest and around clear lakes, the air is clean, the pace is unhurried and the crowds are thin, and in high summer the daylight stretches almost around the clock, so you can tee off at midnight under a soft northern glow. It suits a curious group that has played the usual European trips and wants a fresh one, a couple who like nature and calm with their golf, and anyone drawn to the novelty of midnight sun rounds.
Most of the best courses cluster within easy reach of Helsinki, a clean, design led capital that makes a fine base on its own. For the full picture, see our guide to golf in Finland and the best courses in Finland.

The Finnish golf season is short and runs roughly from May to September, so plan around it. June and July are the peak, with the warmest weather, the firmest courses and the famous near 24 hour daylight that makes midnight golf possible, which is the reason many golfers come. The shoulders in May and September are quieter and cheaper but noticeably cooler, and the courses can be soft early and late. Midsummer dates around the longest days are the most magical and the most in demand, so book those tee times and hotels well ahead.

Yes. Around midsummer in June the sun barely sets across much of Finland, so you can tee off late in the evening and play through the night under a soft northern light. It is one of the signature experiences of a Finnish golf trip.
