Aura Golf

Designed by Lauri Arkkola and member of the club Pekka Sivula, the 18-hole Championship-level park on Ruissalo Island.

The golf course is built on 54 hectares of land leased from the City of Turku. The good condition of the field year after year is a constant pride of the members. The first nine holes were opened as early as 1969 and the 18-hole course was expanded in 1983, the fourth in the entire country.
