Pärnu Bay Golf Links

Journey into the sublime beauty of Estonia’s coastal terrain, to relish in the ethereal experience offered at the Pärnu Bay Golf Links. In a tranquil setting where forest converges with sea, the golf links create an ambiance of peace, yet unsettle with the promise of a challenging game. Set just south of the coastal city of Pärnu, this masterpiece was designed by the creative genius of Lassi Pekka Tilander, assisted by Mick McShane, whose intricate creative imprint graces world-renowned courses including St. Andrews Castle Course and Kingsbarns Golf Links. Opened in 2015, Pärnu Bay Golf Links takes its place among Nordic “must-play” golf courses, providing a testament to Estonia's emerging golf scene. In crafting Pärnu Bay's golf course, Tilander and McShane envisioned a true links layout. The result is an authentic links course, featuring sandy soil and fine sea fescue grasses that test the mettle of any golfer. Wide fairways interspersed generously with intimidating sand areas demand strategic play; confident swings trace arcs against the Baltic skyline. Then there are the multi-leveled greens with their daring undulations, certain to challenge precision and patience alike. Offering lengths from 4,500 to 6,200 meters based on selected tees, the par-72 course caters to a variety of player proficiencies. For further practice, it also includes a five-hole, par-three course, a practice range, and putting green. The proud title-holder of Estonia's Best Golf Course in multiple years, the course doesn’t compromise on quality or charm, beguiling the connections between man, club, and nature. After conquering the course's relentless terrain, golfers cherish a well-earned respite in an extraordinary clubhouse, seated atop the highest point on the course. Echoing the design subtleties of a ball on a tee, its attention-commanding architecture captures the essence of modernity cradled in nature. The glass-walled restaurant located within the clubhouse presents an enviable 360-degree view, a seamless blend of sea, forest, and golf course vistas. Adjourn to the panoramic terrace for a refreshing concoction after the game and observe other golfers embark on their own tee-off journeys. Take delight in the hearty menu at the restaurant, with cuisine that marries Scottish flavors with a Nordic twist. Indeed, it is not merely about a rewarding round of golf but an immersive encounter where the spirit of sport meets the comforts of luxurious repose.
