Golf is one of the most privileged sports in the world. High prices, form, etiquette are the eternal attributes of this sport that can scare away ordinary people. Meanwhile, golf in Latvia turned out to be quite affordable, at least when compared with tennis. For 300 euros you can buy a set of clubs and for 800 euros an annual subscription to the club and play as much as you want.
The golf season in Latvia is rather vague. Players enter the field around March and can play until the end of December. It all depends on the weather conditions. So let’s see what golf courses there are in Latvia and how much it costs to play.

Golf courses in Riga

4. Golfa laukums “Mežāres”
It’s the onliest PITCH & PUTT course in Latvia. It is something between golf and mini golf. The maximum hole length is 60 meters. And there are 6 holes in total. But, probably, this is a very suitable place for organizing a children’s party. Therefore, I decided to include this club on the list.
