Pros:
Sections cater to different playing styles, so there is variety in the holes. Also, the course itself is varied such as long meadows, rocky hills, incline/declines and wooded areas. It is challenging, so it tests your skills and can help you judge your overall game play.
Cons:
Signage to the holes is the biggest con. Holes are marked well in terms of direction to the basket, difficulty and boundaries, but finding the next hole can be difficult. There are two information signs at the start and after hole 12, but sign posts at certain holes would really help out and not require a map to play.
Other Thoughts:
The course is merged with a park and close to the kivikko recycling center and Lapland sports hall, so you have to watch out for pedestrians and bird watchers. As a competition course I would say it is good for that reason, but in comparison to other courses like Tali or the one in Lahti I would say Kivikko is average, but challenging.
