Linna Golf is home to one of the best championship golf courses in Finland. This predominantly tree-lined parkland layout, located close to but not directly alongside the Katumajärvi lake, provides a excellent test for your all-round game.
Tim Lobb's design weaves through an expansive and undulating environment, with plenty of elevation change, and tall birch and pines defining many of the holes. The good-width fairways are not overly troubled by water, but plenty of attractive bunkers and sometimes penal rough also line the way as you journey towards the extravagantly large greens. There's many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy in the Linna championship layout.

Linna Golf is laid out in the grounds of the Vannajanlinna Estate and the historic Äikäälä farm, which dates back to the Middle Ages. The baronnial castle, which now serves as Linna's onsite hotel, was not constructed until the late-1910s, when Dr Carl Wilhelm Rosenlew bought the Äikäälän farm. In 1998 Vanajanlinna was bought by Mika Walkamo and Pekka Vihma, who set about developing the Stay&Play concept that Linna now offers.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
