Finland is home to the happiest people in the world and boasts one of the best-functioning societies on the planet! From pristine nature to vibrant urban destinations, Arctic exotica to a culture like no other, Finland has it all. And let's not forget the weather—sunny summers and endless daylight make it the perfect place to be.
But there's more. Finland is also an amazing golf destination, offering a unique experience that has been hidden from view until now. Two golf and tourism experts are on a mission to change that and bring this hidden gem to the world's attention.
Finncoming is a new Finnish operator specializing in inbound golf tourism, founded by two well-known professionals in the golf industry, Markku "Luigi" Nord and Henry Lahtonen. It aims to promote Finland as an attractive golf destination and to attract golfing tourists from around the world to the country's top golf courses. Finncoming builds and curates tailor-made travel packages that combine golf with nature experiences, cultural attractions, and various golf-enriching activities.
"Finland has enormous potential in both general tourism and golf-focused tourism, which we have been hesitant to showcase to the world. We decided to make up for it in golf and deliver a high-quality experience that meets the needs of even the most demanding golf travelers," says Markku “Luigi” Nord, co-founder of Finncoming.
Finncoming's services are aimed at overseas golf enthusiasts looking for professionally organized premium golf trips with personalized itineraries. Finncoming tailors trips according to customers' wishes and also serves travelers once they arrive, taking care of not only transport, accommodation, and tee time bookings but also other details and experiences of the trip.
Finncoming creates customized travel packages for five distinctive regions in Finland. On the south coast, golfers are drawn to the Archipelago Swing, a combination of Finland's breathtaking archipelago landscape, and the Urban Approach, which includes the Helsinki metropolitan area and its high-quality golf courses. The three-city destination, Tee Triangle, offers a great selection of Finland's best inland golf courses, all within easy reach of Helsinki. Lakeland Sweetspot and Arctic Miracle will take international golfers to Finland's most popular tourist areas, including a lake district with thousands of water bodies and the land of the midnight sun in northern Lapland, where the golfing experience is full of mystery.
"Tourism to Finland is generating significant interest worldwide, and the same is true for golf tourism if the opportunities are presented in the right way," says Henry Lahtonen, who is fully committed to the new travel service.
"Finland could well become the next high-profile, exotically different golf destination in Europe."
Golf lovers are invited to discover Finland’s unique golfing landscape, with arrangements now available for tailored travel packages through Finncoming for the 2025 season.
