Management

renovation

 At SO Green, we believe that for every problem there is a solution, and this is especially true for existing golf courses which over time have degraded. Greens, bunkers, tees and other features on the course can be restored to the original grandeur and better through a trained eye and a deft touch.

“The goal is to create the best par-3 course in the world”

 

The Rock course is designed by internationally renowned golf course architect Lassi Pekka Tilander. In bringing this ambitious vision to life, the project has used the expertise of top global specialists, including leading golf course agronomists and shapers.

Rock is built without compromising on quality. More time and money is spent on every detail and square meter of the golf course than has been spent on any other Finnish golf course. The course and its details are built in cooperation with nature, allowing the details of the environment to come to the fore. The challenge has been accepted and a masterpiece is being created, says course architect Lassi Pekka Tilander.
