Saaremaa Golf & Country Club
Kuressaare
Located on the island of Saaremaa, close to the historic town of Kuressaare, Saaremaa Golf & Country Club offers a scenic and relaxed golf experience in one of Estonia’s most distinctive destinations. The course sits within easy reach of Kuressaare’s medieval castle, beaches, spa hotels and town centre, making it a strong choice for golfers who want more than just time on the fairways.
The 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by Finnish architect Lassi Pekka Tilander and measures around 6,310 metres. Built with championship ambitions, the layout combines open fairways, natural water features, strategic bunkering and coastal-island scenery to create a varied but playable round.
Saaremaa is not as busy or commercial as larger European golf destinations, and that is a big part of its charm. It offers a calmer, slower-paced golf break with fresh sea air, historic surroundings and easy access to local restaurants, spas and nature experiences. The course works especially well as part of an Estonia golf itinerary alongside Niitvälja Golf and Estonian Golf & Country Club near Tallinn.

About The Area
Kuressaare is the main town on Saaremaa, Estonia’s largest island, and offers one of the Baltics’ most relaxed and distinctive golf settings. It is a brilliant choice for golfers who want something different from the usual European resort break — coastal air, long summer evenings, spa hotels, quiet roads and a charming island pace.
The key venue is Saaremaa Golf & Country Club, also known as Saare Golf, located in Kuressaare itself. Visit Estonia lists it at Merikotka 35 in Kuressaare and shows the main season running from 1 April to 31 October. The course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout measuring 6,310 metres, designed by Finnish architect Lassi Pekka Tilander with the aim of creating a championship-level course suitable for international tournaments. Expect rolling fairways, water hazards, strategic bunkering and a peaceful natural setting rather than a heavily built-up resort feel.
One of Kuressaare’s big advantages is how close everything is. Saare Golf says the course can be combined with Saaremaa’s spas, beaches, medieval castle and historic centre, all within around a 10-minute walk; other golf listings place the course around 15 minutes on foot from the town centre. That makes it excellent for golfers who like an easy, low-stress stay.
Off the course, Kuressaare is known for its castle, spa culture, beaches and calm island atmosphere. Saaremaa itself is loved for folklore, deserted beaches, culture and spa retreats, while travel to the island is usually by ferry from mainland Estonia to Muhu and Saaremaa, or by a short flight from Tallinn to Kuressaare.
For golfers seeking Baltic island golf, spa relaxation and a slower, more scenic alternative to mainland city breaks, Kuressaare is one of Estonia’s most rewarding golf escapes.
