Guide
A golf holiday in Lapland
Published 2026-08-16
Golf in Lapland means midnight sun and uncrowded fairways. Our catalog lists five Lapland courses: Levi Golf in Kittilä, Santa Claus Golf in Rovaniemi, Meri-Lapin Golfklubi in Tornio, Kemin Golf Klubi and the 9-hole Aavasaksa Golf in Ylitornio. Places to stay cluster around Rovaniemi and Levi.
Rovaniemi: three properties near Santa Claus Golf
The closest places to stay to the 18-hole Santa Claus Golf are Ounasvaaran Lakituvat about 600 metres away, Napapiirin Saarituvat about 4 km away and Santa Claus Holiday Village at the Arctic Circle about 7 km from the course.
Levi: a course just over a kilometre away
From the Levi resort village it is about 1.1 km to the 18-hole Levi Golf — playing in fell scenery does not get easier than this in Finland. Levi is also the northernmost 18-hole course in our catalog.
Sea Lapland and Aavasaksa
On the coast you play at Meri-Lapin Golfklubi in Tornio and Kemin Golf Klubi; Seaside Glass Villas in Kemi and Camping Tornio work as bases. In Ylitornio, Aava Sky Village is close to the 9-hole Aavasaksa Golf. And if your route passes Kuusamo: the Ruka resort village is about 3.5 km from the Kuusamo Golf course.
