About this course

Pärnu Bay Golf Links is a five-hole short course located in Tahkuranna, near the Estonian coastal town of Pärnu. Designed by Finnish architect Lassi Pekka Tilander, the layout offers an accessible introduction to golf in a seaside setting along the Gulf of Riga. The compact routing makes it suitable for beginners, juniors, and players seeking a quick practice round or casual outing. The course sits within the natural landscape of the Pärnu Bay region, where the relatively flat Estonian terrain meets the Baltic coast. Tilander's design works with the local topography and vegetation typical of the area—pine forests and open meadowland characteristic of Estonia's western coast. The five-hole format allows for efficient play while still presenting the fundamental challenges of shot-making and course management on a smaller scale. As a short course, Pärnu Bay Golf Links serves the local golfing community and visitors to the Pärnu region, providing an alternative to full eighteen-hole rounds. The modest scope of the layout reflects the practical approach to golf development in Estonia, where such courses support growing participation in the sport. The seaside location and proximity to Pärnu's recreational amenities position it as part of the broader golf and leisure infrastructure of the area.

Getting there

The journey to Pärnu Bay Golf Links begins at Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (TLL), Estonia's primary gateway, situated roughly 150 kilometres north; the drive south unfolds across gently rolling Estonian countryside before the landscape opens toward the Baltic coast, a passage of approximately two and a half hours that gradually shifts from inland pine forests to the salt-tinged air and dune-backed shores of Pärnu Bay. For those arriving by private aviation, Pärnu Airport (PNQ) lies considerably closer, a modest regional facility that serves as the preferred entry for discerning travellers seeking to bypass the capital entirely. The final kilometres toward Tahkuranna trace the coastline itself, where the road narrows and the horizon widens to reveal the grey-green waters of the bay, before arriving at Pärnu Bay Golf Links - a quietly situated venue where the architecture of the course and the raw, northern maritime landscape merge into a singular, contemplative experience.
