Visiting from Sundale
The golf club welcomes green fee players on its 18 hole championship course, which looks out over Lake Wānaka and the mountains, and has been playing since 1922. It is a short drive from the park, so an early round still gets you back for a late breakfast in the communal kitchen.
Ring the pro shop before you go on a Saturday from May to September, because club days limit green fee availability through those winter months. Green fees depend on whether you belong to an affiliated club, so have your club details handy when you call.
There is a driving range, a pro shop with equipment hire and coaching if you have travelled without clubs. The pitch and putt short course suits beginners and children, so it works as a family hour rather than a full round while the others are out walking.
