Sand Valley gets to Top 100 in Continental Europe

Sand Valley Golf Resort has been named the 82nd best golf course in Europe by the influential Golf World magazine panel the most established & trusted authority on golf course rankings.

The accolade comes in the highly competitive field of almost 5000 golf courses from around Europe. And cements Sand Valley’s place as Poland’s flagship course & Golf Resort.

“It is a great honour for Sand Valley, and all those who have worked tirelessly over the last 8 years to make it such a special place. Credit of course to Lassi-Pekka Tilander and Tony Ristola for their vision. Also this is a very proud day for Polish golf where we will continue to be at the forefront in spreading the word” said Antti Pohjonen CEO of Sand Valley.

We will leave the last word to the golf world panel –

“IT BLEW ME AWAY”

Sand Valley is a remarkable sand-based inland links. It is unlike anything else I’ve witnessed in the United Kingdom. It blew me away with its lunar-like landscape of wide fairways, vast waste bunkers and bewitching greens. I loved so many shots on so many of the memorable holes.”

Golf doesn’t like noise, but …

Last weekend in Sand Valley belonged not only to golfers but also to automotive fans. On Saturday, about 110 tuning cars arrived on the golf course, on Sunday – retro cars and WRC cars, which were checked by Szymon Ruta, one of the famous Polish rally drivers, participant in the Dakar Rally in 2013.

This is the second edition of the event, which co-founder is Antti Pohjonen, chairman of the board of Sand Valley, who can talk endlessly about his two biggest passions: golf and cars.

– In Poland very small amount of the people in regards to the population plays golf. As an example, in Finland, when you fill a bus with 50 people, one of them plays golf. In Poland you would have to fill the National Stadium and then you will find one person that plays golf. There are only 4000 golfers in Poland. I want to change that – says Antti Pohjonen. “And that’s such a cool sport,” he assured. First of all, physical activity in the open air, because one round of golf is 11 km. But you must also use the head – the reserve. – Golf is also a social sport. You can have a full round, which is about 5 hours spent with your wife, with children, with a colleague. And you’re turning off Facebook, from what’s in your life too fast. And it’s not just sports for the rich – assures Antti Pohjonen, and adds: “My second love is cars, so the idea was Golf & Cars. The first day was a golf tournament with 72 participants. At the same time – continues – we were doing a tuning event. About 110 cars arrived. It’s the excitement for young people.

Both on Saturday and Sunday, we could use test drives with the latest Audi models, thanks to Audi Rowiński-Wajdemajer, and the cleanliness of cars was taken care of by GoClean” target=”_blank”>GoClean

Sunday – it was time for the presentation of classic cars – about 60 classic cars arrived. First and foremost, it was the time of emotion that has been provided by Szymon Ruta, the rally driver and his WRC car. The lucky ones could watch the tour from the pilot’s seat. There was adrenaline, sand dents, sharp bends. “This is what big boys love the most – a statement that fully summarizes the weekend at the golf course at Pasłęk.
