In addition to having the best golf course in Finland, Häme is home to the oldest golf course in the country, Hugo Golf in Aulanko. Its sloping and fast greens have challenged players to develop their short-game skills for nearly 80 years.

Traditional and Disc Golf

In addition to traditional golf, Häme has great facilities for disc golfing. The sport has gained great popularity among Finns in recent years, and new courses have arisen in Häme at a rapid pace.

Loimijoki Golf, located in Ypäjä, is a great destination for both traditional and disc golfers, as the area now features courses for both sports enthusiasts. Thus, you can play a round of golf first, eat and then continue your day with disc golf.

If you want a bit of a challenge in disc golf, head to Hunnari in Forssa, home to an 18-fairway competitive course. The fairways in hilly terrain challenge players’ skills as well as physical condition. At the same time, it offers the opportunity to perform spectacular glides and enjoy the stunning scenery.
