Niitvalja Golf Course (Tallinn Golf Club)
Niitvalja Golf Club is a beautiful, tranquil 18 hole course located 30 kilometres southwest of Tallinn. The course is kept in fantastic condition and is a challenging course for golfers of all abilities. Three Main Factors influencing the play at Niitvälja are wind, water and trees. Due to the closeness of the sea, the strong wind may cause a headache to even the strongest of players and ruin an opening drive on the first three holes. The rest of the holes pass through the forest and the impact of the wind is not so strong. However, as the faiways are quite narrow, a straying ball may easily end up in a thick rough or behind a tree. The course is rich in water and only on three holes do water hazards not interfere with the game. Thus, the ponds or brooks running either lengthwise or crosswise tend to catch the balls struck too much to the right or to the left. The course requires intelligent thinking and accuracy in order to score well.
