Ozo Golf Club – the first 18-hole golf course in Latvia. It is equipped with Rain Bird watering system and quality course maintenance by John Deere. The course is located in Riga – the capital of Latvia, only 8 km – 10 minutes drive from the downtown. The club owner is Sandis Ozolinsh, well known Latvian ice hockey player. Club’s name – Ozo – comes from Sandis nickname in the NHL.
The course has 18 holes, with a total distance of 6400 meters from the back tees, and can surprise everyone with its variety.
