Course at a Glance
The Course
Officially the Nordic Houses Kiiu Discgolfipark, this 18-hole, par-62 course stretches 2,405 metres through a mix of managed forest and open field. With a Disc Golf Metrix rating of 1006, it plays tougher than most courses in the Tallinn area. OB zones and water hazards on multiple holes create genuine risk/reward decisions — the aggressive line is tempting but the safe route protects your scorecard.
Six par-4 holes (2, 4, 6, 8, 14, 15) and one par 5 (hole 12) give the course real teeth — the average scores on holes 6 and 14 sit near 4.8, making them the toughest on the layout. Drop zones on holes 1 and 14 mean even shorter holes can bite. If 18 feels like too much, there's a 10-hole short course option.
The course suits intermediate to advanced players best — experienced enough to shape shots through the trees and manage OB, but beginners can enjoy it by playing the wide lines and treating the par 4s as three-throw holes.
"Kiiu rewards the player who knows where the disc is going before they release it."
Standout Holes
The Opener
Par 3 with a designated drop zone. A welcoming tee shot that sets the tone, but the OB and drop zone rule mean you can't completely zone out. Throw a neutral midrange and get your release dialled in before the wooded sections.
Early Test
Par 4 (avg 4.7). The second hole immediately lets you know this course has teeth. One of the trickiest on the front nine — finding the fairway off the tee is essential or you're scrambling for bogey.
The Gauntlet
Par 4 (avg 4.8). The hardest hole on the course by average score. Length and tight lines combine to make bogey a real possibility. Commit to a line off the tee and trust it — indecision costs strokes here.
The Long Reach
Par 4 (avg 4.6). Forces a two-throw strategy. Finding the fairway off the tee is critical — the OB lurks on the aggressive line. A well-placed upshot sets up a look at birdie, but par is a good score.
The Signature Hole
Par 3 (avg 3.1) through mixed terrain — open approach to a wooded finish. The basket is tucked behind a stand of pines, rewarding players who can shape a controlled fade on approach. Easily the most discussed hole on the course.
The Monster
The only par 5 on the course (avg 5.5). This is where distance players can separate themselves. Three clean throws get you a look at birdie, but the length means any mistake compounds. Course management is everything here.
The Crosswind Challenge
Par 4 (avg 4.8) with a drop zone. Tied for the toughest hole on the course. Open field with OB that exposes you to whatever the Baltic wind has in mind. In calm conditions it's attackable. In a crosswind, take the safe line — the drop zone penalty adds up fast.
The Closer
A satisfying par 3 finish — gives you a final chance to shape a clean throw and end the round right. A good score here can salvage the back nine.
What to Put in Your Bag
Wooded fairways require a disc that holds any line you give it. The Teebird's 0 turn threads gaps reliably.
Mixed terrain means lots of mid-distance approach shots. A neutral midrange handles every angle.
Estonian summers are fine. Estonian autumn and winter putting requires plastic that stays soft and grippy.
The open holes — especially 14 — can have serious Baltic crosswind. Bring something that handles it.
Getting There
Kiiu is a 35-minute drive east of Tallinn on the Tallinn–Narva road (E20/Highway 1). Take the Kiiu exit and follow signs toward the village. Entry costs €5 and parking is available on-site.
The course is playable year-round but the best conditions are April through October. In winter, pack overstable discs — cold Baltic air makes everything fly more overstable than usual, and the wooded sections can be icy underfoot after a freeze.
