Instructions for players

Choosing a tee position at the Nuas Course

At the Nuas course, there are white, blue, yellow, and red tees. Players with a club handicap (hcp over 36) must play from the red tees. They pick up their ball if they have reached 10 strokes on a single hole.

Women playing with an official handicap (hcp 36 or lower) can choose from the red, blue, or yellow tees. Men with the same handicap can freely choose their tees.

We recommend that players in the same group play from the same tee to expedite the game. Players are responsible for the smooth progress of play. The player with the lowest handicap ensures the group stays on schedule.

Choosing a Tee Position at the Tenetti Course

At the Tenetti course, there are white, blue, yellow, red, and orange tees. Players with a club handicap (hcp over 36) must play from the orange tees. They pick up their ball if they have reached 10 strokes on a single hole. The playing handicap is based on the orange tee table.

We recommend that players in the same group play from the same tee to expedite the game. Players are responsible for the smooth progress of play. The player with the lowest handicap ensures the group stays on schedule.

Choosing a tee position at the Vuokatti everyman’s course

No handicap is required for the everyman’s course, but players must play from a tee that suits their playing ability. The course has white, yellow, red, and orange tees.

Playing is allowed for all who have paid the green fee. A beginner player starts from the orange tee. Once they have completed a 9-hole round with a score of 54 or below, they are allowed to play from the next, i.e., red tee. Similarly, a player can move to the next tee after completing a round with a maximum score of 54, which is 27 strokes over the course par.

Speed of play

The target playing times at the courses are:

• Nuas 18 holes - 4 h 10 min
• Tenetti 9 holes - 2 h
• Vuokatti 9 holes - 1 h 30 min

Course monitoring

There are monitors on the courses whose instructions must be followed.

Remember good golf etiquette

Maintaining cleanliness and order on the courses is essential. Waste and trash should be sorted into the bins at the tee positions. There is a bio-waste collection point at the Nuas break café. Golf carts must be returned to their designated areas. Pets are allowed on Vuokatti and Tenetti courses if they are on a leash, e.g., attached to a golf cart. Waste must be cleaned up. Other pet exercise on the golf course is prohibited during the golf season.

Smoking is only permitted in designated areas near the cafés and at specific locations on the Nuas and Tenetti courses. Smoking is prohibited indoors at kiosks and their terraces, on the fairways, greens, and entirely on the Vuokatti course. Playing while intoxicated is prohibited on all courses. Any damage or deficiencies observed on the course should be reported to the golf reception.

Use of golf carts

Using golf carts is free, but a €0.50, €1, or €2 coin is required to take one. The money is refunded upon returning the cart. The carts are equipped with a sand repair bottle. Players must ensure before starting their round that it is full. The sand is used to fill in divots. Golf carts are not allowed on the holiday apartment area during July.

Playing with a golf cart

Only golf carts rented from the golf reception can be used on the course. The carts are not registered, so they are suitable only for golf course use. Players are required to familiarize themselves with the safety and operating instructions for the golf cart and to follow them. Movement on the golf course should primarily be on paths and roughs. Driving on tees, greens, bunkers, and in the woods is prohibited. A valid AM class driver’s license (moped license) is required to operate a golf cart.
