The golf course, established 2013, is situated in the scenic boreal forest of Petäjäkangas, in the embrace of nine natural ponds and in the immediate vicinity of Hotel Holiday Club Kuusamon Tropiikki. The altitude of the ponds is about 260 metres above sea level which makes the course the highest one in Finland. The tee shot for the front nine is done at approximately 280 metres while the tee box of hole 10 is at 270 metres. The Caddie master´s office is situated at the Hotel Kuusamon Tropiikki´s reception.
The fairways are vast and clearly separated. Playing is both smooth and safe. The greens are large without being too difficult. The reliefs of the terrain have been utilized wonderfully and for a spectacular effect. For instance, at the tee box of hole 10 it is possible to see ten different holes and four ponds. Affordable playing is possible around the clock even at night thanks to the midnight sun. The tee box of the 10th hole is exactly at the 66th latitude so merely 60 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle. At that latitude the sun stays above the horizon for a couple of days or weeks in the summer.
For history enthusiasts the course area in itself is worth the experience. There are wartime German military bunkers and trenches visible on the course area and its surroundings.
Come and exercise at the outdoor park. Walking trails and a cycling route can be found just on the edges of the course and between the fairways. Hotel Kuusamon Tropiikki also has a frisbee golf course, tennis courts and a beach.
