We went last week-end for a 3 hours expedition with 2 kids and definitly would recommend it as we all had fun and enjoyed the ride with the lovely Huskies and the kidness and passion from Tapio. He definitly makes all so that you feel confortable. All was great, from discovering the dogs, the ride, the snack by the fire (quite friendly and kids enjoyed the pancakes a lot) and on top we have been lucky with wonferfull snowy landscapes from Nuuksio under the sun.

Tapiola Golf

Tapiola Golfin kentän esisuunnitelman laati ruotsalainen golfkenttäarkkitehti Jan Sederholm, jonka kädenjälki näkyy yli sadalla kentällä pääasiassa Pohjoismaissa. Osin Sederholmin suunnitelman perusteella suunnittelutyötä jatkaa chicagolainen arkkitehtitoimisto Nugent Golf Inc., joka on erikoistunut vaativiin pohjaolosuhteisiin ollen lajissaan maailman kokeneimpia suunnittelutoimistoja. Nugent Golf Inc’n Tim Nugentin suunniteleman kentän par on 72 ja se on pituudeltaan valkoisilta 6061 metriä, keltaisilta 5629 metriä ja punaisilta 4600 metriä. Kentän pinta-ala on noin 55 hehtaaria. Klubirakennus sijaitsee alueen koilliskulmassa, josta on hyvät liikenneyhteydet joka suuntaan. Kuitenkin aivan klubin tuntumassa sijaitsevat niin ykkös- ja kymppitiit, kuin 9 ja 18 reikien viheriöt. Huoltorakennus sijoittuu kentän itäosaan. Kentän halki kulkee yleinen ulkoilureitti, ns. vihervyöhyke Mankkaan ja Laajalahden asuinalueiden välillä. Tapiola Golfin sijainti asutuksen ja yleisen virkistysalueen keskellä asettaa golfkentälle toisaalta vaatimuksia ja toisaalta tarjoaa monia mahdollisuuksia. Juniorien pelimahdollisuuksiin ja yhteistyöhön koulujen kanssa tullaan kiinnittämään erityistä huomiota. Viereinen Turvesuon- ja Sinimäentie palvelee parin bussilinjan reittinä, mikä on tärkeää erityisesti nuorten pelaajien liikkumista ajatellen. Näihin yhtyvä Turveradantie liittyy pohjoisessa Turun moottoritiehen ja etelässä Olarinluoman alueelle ns. Orioninmutkaan. Hyvällä golfkentän ja viheralueen yhteen sovittavalla suunnitelulla on saatu aikaan turvallinen ja korkeatasoinen kenttä. Se palvelee golfkauden ulkopuolella lähiseudun asukkaita ainutlaatuisena puistona ja hiihtomaastona. Kenttää ja sen tiloja tuleekin leimaamaan avoimuus ja monikäyttöisyys ympäri vuoden. Ainutlaatuisessa Tapiola Golfissa pääset nauttimaan pelaamisen ohella myös muista palveluista. Poikkea kahville tai vaikka lounaalle ravintola Vistan aurinkoiselle terassille. Kaikki golfvarusteet löydät kätevästi Golf Centerin myymälästä klubitalon alakerrasta. Tapiola Golfista on saatavilla myös laadukkaita opetuspalveluita ammattitaitoisten opettajien ja valmentajien johdolla. Pelaajien käytettävissä ovat pesu- ja pukuhuoneet lukittavine kaappeineen. Kesällä voit käydä harjoittelemassa rangella. Poletteja voi ostaa caddiemasterilta tai kahvilasta.
