What MASTER GOLF COURSE OY AB does

Master Golf Course Oy Ab is a privately held Finnish golf course operator founded in 1986, headquartered in Espoo in the Uusimaa region of Finland. It operates two 18-hole courses — the parkland Master course (Stimp 3.1) and the woodland Forest course (Stimp 2.9) — on the historic Bodom Manor estate on the shores of Lake Bodom, approximately 25 km from Helsinki city centre and 20 km from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. The integrated facility includes a driving range, putting and pitching areas, a clubhouse with pro shop, locker rooms with sauna, a restaurant (Bodomin Kartano), electric vehicle charging, and 33 golf carts.

The core product is the dual-course golf experience, complemented by a suite of ancillary services: the Master Golf Academy (coaching by Stenna, Julia, and Pasi), golf cart and club rental, range ball packages, branded merchandise, and corporate/team-building event services. Operational technology is built on the WiseGolf booking and management system (powered by WiseNetwork), with reservations handled through a mobile app, web, and phone; e-commerce runs through a proprietary store (kauppa.mastergolf.fi) with Paytrail/Adyen-integrated payments. Course maintenance is distinguished by 18 robot lawn mowers and a smart irrigation system that reduced electricity consumption from 95,000 kWh to 30,000 kWh over five years (68% reduction). The company is GEO-certified by the Golf Environment Organization.

The business model is a hybrid of consumer and event-driven B2B. Direct-to-consumer revenue comes from green fees (85-110 EUR adults), range balls, cart and club rentals, and pro shop / e-commerce merchandise. Membership-style recurring revenue is generated through annual adult (102 EUR) and junior (46 EUR) memberships in Master Golf Club ry, shareholder maintenance fees (1,140 EUR) and financing fees (365 EUR), plus locker rentals. B2B revenue includes customized corporate golf events (full-service planning and execution), Tyky/Tyhy wellness days, and tournaments such as the Audi e-Tron Tour. Customer segments include golf enthusiasts and club members, corporate and business customers, international visitors, and junior golfers.
