Commonwealth Golf Day
We cordially invite you to participate in our sixth Commonwealth Golf Day. The competition will take place in Tapiola Golf, a 18 holes inland links course built in 2013, located only 15 minutes from Helsinki City centre.
It will comprise a mix of competitors, sponsors and sponsors’ guests, Commonwealth personalities, Nordic-Baltic and Commonwealth Ambassadors, business executives and owner-managers, media and others enjoying a round of golf, learning to play or just having fun and enjoying great networking.
In addition to the Commonwealth Trophy awarded to the winning individual, prizes will include: Best Team, Special Competitions: Closest to Pin - "Malta", Longest Drive - "Australia", Hole in Two - "Trinidad and Tobago".
Non-golfers can take golf lessons and, along with tournament participants, enjoy an evening buffet dinner, outstanding networking opportunities, and various activities.

The Course
Tapiola Golf is located only 15 minutes from Helsinki city center. The layout and undulating greens have been very much appreciated by the players. The main turf is fescue making the greens pretty fast. We have over 90 bunkers but just a couple of water hazard (ditches).
