Rovaniemi - 9 stops - par 30
From a pigeon's view, Rovaniemi looks like a clean grid carved into the snow. The map is the real city and the round is played on its real streets, using attractions like Jätkänkynttilä as the holes. Skip knows every rooftop and alley here. This quick 9-hole round covers 6.5 km with a par of 30, using 4 portals to skip across the frost.
The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.
Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.
Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.
The Pilke House is a combined office building and science center in Rovaniemi, Finland. You can pick out the sustainable wood products used throughout its design, a choice that contributes to the building's low carbon footprint. Beyond the materials used in its construction, the site operates as a museum and science center. It was established in 2011 to provide a space for learning and administration. I've noticed the wood gives the whole place a warm feel that fits the northern landscape perfectly. It is a great spot to see how modern building techniques can work with nature rather than against it. Whether you are interested in the science of the region or the architecture of the house itself, there is plenty to see here. It is one of those places where the building is just as interesting as the exhibits inside.
This is a full round through Helsinki. The map is the real city and the ball rolls across its actual streets, banking off facades to reach landmarks like the Ateneum.

Skip is a local guide who knows these sidewalks and every shortcut available to a pigeon, ensuring the path is clear. The real city attractions are what the holes are built from, turning the urban geography into a game.
The ball finishes its journey at Helsinki Central Station. This quick 9-hole round follows the real streets of Helsinki, where attractions form the holes and 14 portals bridge the 4.8 km walk. With a par of 25, the course relies on the actual city map. Skip knows these sidewalks well.
