Davidin omat kommentit kentästä:

” When I saw Hirsala I felt it would be a wonderful challenge to fit a golf course into a such classic Finnish landscape.

The course is now complete, and I am delighted with the result. We have preserved almost all of the features which made this area so beautiful, and have created a natural and fair course which is built to the most modern of standards, but still respects the tradition of golf. Courage will be rewarded, but the course can also be played with caution… In this way everyone will enjoy it… which is the true spirit of The Game.

I believe as it matures Hirsala will be one of the great courses in Finland. ”
