You can always tell spring has arrived and summer is getting closer by checking your credit card statements. Whenthe charges include something like €600 for the most forgiving driver on the market, you know golf season is officially here and summer is roughly 45 days away.

Another one is a series of aftenoon gin and tonics at the Golf fair and a few more at Crystal Show Club that same night. By then you know it’s time to congratulate yourself. You beat the winter once again and celebrated it with some great me time.

Yes the golf fair is back. The event is positioned by the organizer as Finland’s largest golf event and the traditional opener for the spring golf season. For those who are just hearing about this for the first time, tickets are sold both online and at the door, with the organizer noting that advance online purchase is cheaper and avoids service fees.

Current listed on-site prices are Adults €26, discount/special ticket €19, group ticket €19 per person for groups of at least 10, family ticket €54 for up to 2 adults and 3 children aged 7-17, and full-time tickets at €44 adult / €30 special.

Long served as a practical “season starts here” moment for golfers in Finland. For 2026, Messukeskus describes it as being organized together with industry partners, with the Finnish Golf Union (Suomen Golfliitto) as the main partner. We call it a great opportunity to take a day to treat yourself just a little. Once you have caught up on the latest must get golf equipment and you are sitting at the best strip club in Helsinki, with a drink in hand and your phone says its only 23.00 – you know this year has all it takes to be a great one.

This year event

A headline feature for 2026 is the inaugural Finnish Simulator Golf Championship Final, played across all three days using TrackMan IO simulators, with 16 top players competing for a €10,000 prize pot. That gives this year’s edition a stronger competitive angle than a standard expo full of brochures and politely smiling sales reps. Technology is everwhere and the simulator series have been coming up big time. And at home dad’s again got a tougher time argumenting why video games is nota career path.

If you want some hands on action, of course there is a range and a putting green, but this year also a 2 fairway golf course. We suggest you skip that indoor nonsense and head straight down to the 3rd hole on Lönnrotinkatu to see the best looking international dancers in Helsinki do their thing. The hips move graciously on stage..

Yes the best action is going to be starting at 21.00 at Crystal Show Club, ever golfers favorite strip club.
