Venue
Kadriorg Park
A palace park laid out in 1718, a 30-minute walk from the Old Town. For one week in July, it is the most beautiful championship course in disc golf.
Since 1718
A park with three hundred years of practice
In 1718 Peter the Great ordered a summer palace to be built outside Tallinn, and the Italian architect Nicola Michetti laid out the palace and its gardens as a single three-part ensemble.
The estate was named Katharinenthal after the tsar's wife, Catherine I. The Estonian form, Kadriorg, came into use in the 19th century and became the official name in the 1920s. The palace is now the Kadriorg Art Museum, and the Office of the President of Estonia stands beside it.

What surrounds the course
Spectators walk between holes past three centuries of gardens, museums and monuments. The park itself is free to enter.
-
Swan Pond
The pond with its gazebo is the park's meeting point, and the postcard everyone takes home.
-
Flower garden
The formal garden behind the palace, plus a rose garden of 5,600 roses planted in 2005.
-
Museums
Kumu, the Mikkel Museum, the House of Peter the Great and the Miiamilla Children's Museum are all inside the park.
-
Cafés and restaurants
Kadriorg eats well: Katharinenthal by the Swan Pond, the Michelin-recommended Mon Repos in a 19th-century villa, and NOP in its wooden house one street away.
A course that exists for one week
The championship course is a pop-up. It is measured into the park before the event and taken down after it, so the fairways change with the year and the park goes back to its walkers.
Hole-by-hole layouts, distances and the caddie book are published closer to the event, when the course is set.
Everything is close
The park sits inside the city, a few tram stops from the centre, with the harbour and the airport a short drive away.
