The best disc golf course in Vantaa
The best disc golf course in Vantaa is Varistonniitty, the city's only 18 hole course with an AA1 competition rating. Vantaa currently has six disc golf locations, most of which are short and beginner friendly courses with 9 to 10 holes. The best choice depends on your skill level, as the courses vary considerably in length and difficulty.
Why is Varistonniitty the only competition level course in Vantaa?
Varistonniitty is the only AA1 rated course in Vantaa and was also the city's first 18 hole disc golf course. The course is located in Varisto, with hole lengths ranging from 66 metres to more than 180 metres.
- AA1 classification, par 60
- A fairly challenging forest and meadow course where accuracy is essential on tight fairways
- Some of the holes are located in a lit area
- Located at Rystypolku 6, with the nearest parking area by the tennis centre
Accuracy matters more than distance on tight fairways, so it is worth checking how to choose the right disc golf disc before your round.
Which course is best for beginners?
Malminiitynpuisto and Päiväkumpu are the best options for beginners because both are short and easy to walk, with nine or ten holes.
- Malminiitynpuisto: 9 holes, with some holes designed specifically for beginners
- Päiväkumpu: 10 holes, with the longest hole around 88 metres and the shortest around 42 metres, established in 2006
The short holes make both courses quick and relaxed to play. Before your first round, it is worth reading what equipment you need to start playing disc golf.
