Aulanko Golf

Eversti is an 18-hole course at Aulanko Golf in Hämeenlinna, located in the Tavastia Proper region of southern Finland. Designed by Lassi Pekka, the course occupies terrain characteristic of the Finnish lake district, where glacial geology has shaped rolling landforms and scattered forest cover. The Aulanko area itself is known for its natural beauty and has historically been a recreational destination, with the golf facility integrated into this landscape tradition. The routing works through mixed woodland and more open stretches, presenting golfers with variety in both elevation change and playing corridors. Finnish courses of this type typically feature pine and birch forests framing fairways, with natural water features—ponds, streams, or wetlands—appearing on several holes. The design emphasizes strategic placement over length, as is common in Nordic golf architecture, where shorter growing seasons and cooler temperatures influence playing conditions and turf management. Aulanko Golf serves both members and visitors in the Hämeenlinna region, which lies roughly 100 kilometers north of Helsinki. The club operates within Finland's active golf community, where participation has grown steadily despite the limited season. Eversti provides a parkland-style experience typical of inland Finnish courses, balancing playability for a range of skill levels with enough challenge to maintain interest for regular play throughout the summer months.
