What Hirsala Golf does

Hirsala Golf is a privately held Finnish golf club operator headquartered in Jorvas (Kirkkonummi), approximately 25 minutes from central Helsinki. The company operates an 18-hole par-72 championship course designed by Northern Irish architect David Jones and refined by Christian Lundin, set in Nordic forest and exposed-granite terrain, and reports Finland's first GEO Certified status for sustainability leadership.

The business runs a multi-revenue model layered on a single physical asset: green-fee play (120 EUR / 95 EUR via WiseGolf app), annual playing rights (Täyspelioikeus at 1,950 EUR and a 50-round limit at 1,750 EUR), tiered membership (A, B, Junior), formal corporate playing-rights packages (3,290-5,990 EUR), shareable green-fee card packs, Trackman simulator studio hours (250-650 EUR blocks), padel season cards, on-site Restaurant Vista dining, VIP sauna and meeting facilities, Pro Shop and grip-replacement services, and golf instruction via MR Golf School. Operations rest on the WiseNetwork / WiseGolf booking and member-management platform, with Paytrail payment processing and Finnish employee-benefit integrations (Smartum, ePassi, Edenred).

Commercial activity is executed through Hirsala Golf Oy, the for-profit private limited company, alongside Hirsala Golf ry, the membership association. The customer base spans domestic Finnish golfers, senior and junior member segments, inbound golf tourists via tour-operator partnerships, and corporate clients using the venue for events, meetings, and client entertainment. The most extensive phase of a ReGolf-authored Master Plan course-development program was implemented in summer 2025 and finished after Midsummer 2026, modernizing the asset and supporting premium pricing into the 2026 season and beyond.
