Linna, Kanta-Häme, Finland

from The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 · host Neil White and Ian Woods

Finland is often rated as the happiest nation in the world.  Is it because of its high standard of living? Is it the beauty of the landscape, or because Finns spend so much time in saunas? Or could it be because they have some beautiful golf courses like Linna which feature in continental Europe's Top 100?One of the holes on this course was designed by the winner of a competition - and Dave Sampson went on to have a successful career as a golf architect.  We talk to him about Linna, as well as his most famous creation - the Marco Simone course near Rome which staged the 2023 Ryder Cup.https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/linnahttps://linnagolf.fi/?lang=en-gb&langmenu=1Do you agree with our review?
