erfect summer day consists of time with friends and family, cold drinks and shared activities. Head your summer shoes to Bellanranta, where a brand-new city golf course will be opened in June.

It will take from an hour to hour and a half for a four-person group to finish the game. THE FAIRWAYS are built from soil to model
the original courses around the world. The game is unique in Finland, as its fairways are inspired by and named after the world’s most
legendary golf courses. In Bellanpuisto, you’ll have a chance to putt in the Scottish Postage Stamp and as well as in the American Pebble Beach. As local specialties, there are modeled fairways from Tahko Golf and Tarinagolf as well. In the cozy park-like area, there is a beach terrace for 50 people and a small summer shop. At the shop, you will find delicacies, souvenirs and Bellanpuisto logo products for yourself or for friends back home. FOR BOATERS and other tourists there is a small “Survival Shop”. There you can find summer essentials such as sun lotion, beach towels and playing cards.
