Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club - Moscow, Russia

Northern Ireland’s Michael Hoey was victorious at the Russian Open, hosted by the Tseleevo Golf and Polo Club in Moscow. This course review introduces golfers to this exclusive golf club near the Russian capital.

Located just under 50kms outside of Moscow, Tseleevo is one of Russia’s most exclusive country clubs. The 18-hole championship course was designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus and first opened its doors in 2008. Modern, stylish, and fitted with excellent amenities, the club caters to Russia’s new breed of golf enthusiasts who have taken to the game enthusiastically over the past 20 years.

Tseleevo features golf, polo, a ski slope, and a surrounding residential development that has become home to many Moscow residents who are seeking refuge from big city life. The course is set in dense woodland, with scenic backdrops and challenging holes that will test the skills of all golfers.

The pro shop and golf academy provide golfers with the opportunity to try out new equipment and brush up on their game before taking to the course for 18 holes of exciting golf.

The Nicklaus design favours lower-handicap players, but experienced weekend golfers should be able to navigate the course without too much trouble – the scenic beauty of Tseleevo should compensate for any difficulties experienced on the course.  

With ample water hazards and dense rough, Tseleevo is the type of course that rewards accuracy off the tee. Wayward shots are likely to find the water, the rough, or one of the strategically placed bunkers that guard virtually every green on the course.

Tseleevo is a private golf club and does not permit unexpected guests, but visitors may arrange to play the course by pre-booking in advance.  For more information, please visit the club’s website.
