Course & Equipment: public park, 18 holes.
Holes lengths are between 70 and 290 meters. There are quite few challenging OBs, wonderful up and down hill shots.

Course map: Download pdf file! (please note – last minute update made on hole8 on 19/04 5 pm).

Location and driving directions: Parking place at tournament center (Belmontas).

NB Players who played in previous years – be careful and check the map – you have to arrive to tournament center by different road, despite the course is the same. If you get to the course “old way” – don’t panic – go on Puckoriu asphalt street (don’t stop at “old parking”) – continue on the street turning left to Belmonto street and park at the last parking lot. Then cross the river by feet – and you are here.

Those taking taxi – ask driver to take you to “Belmontas”.
