The Moscow City Golf Club

Description:

• The Moscow City GolfClub is in charge of the first Russian golf-course. The course was created by its founder and Honorary Club President - Sven Tumba, the well-known Swedish sportsmen, the former ice-hockey World champion. The golf-architect managed to design a real golf-course on a reserved space among the flood-lands of the river Setun', the tributary of the Moscow river. Six of the nine holes are par-4 and three holes are par-3. The total playing distance is 2.343 metres. Though the length of the course is moderate, the course is not easy for playing. The narrow fairways and the greens limited in size requires presize shots. There are 23 bunkers on the course (fairway and green-side ones). Front and lateral water hazards makes the game even more chalenging at times. If the pace of the play and the mood of the player makes it possible, one can enjoy the scenery in the neighbourhood with modern-built memorials of the World War II Victory Park and the ancient building of the well-known cathedral in Troitse-Golenistchevo.
