NEW PLYMOUTH GOLF CLUB
New Plymouth, New Zealand

The Golf Club

The New Plymouth Golf Club, commonly called Ngamotu, is ranked one of the top 5 golf courses in New Zealand, a must for every golfer to play. The course is maintained in great condition, and has generous width fairways lined with stately mature pohutukawa trees. Mt Taranaki is always picturesque to the South, and the Tasman sea to the North provides breath taking views of the magnificent coast line stretching from Cape Egmont in the West to the Waikato in the North-East. The course layout, initially designed in 1930, makes wonderful use of the natural contours, with large greens being guarded by unique black iron sand bunkers.

The golf course

The Championship course totals 6082 meters, and has proven to be as good a test of golf as anywhere in the country. The course annually hosts the Taranaki Strokeplay championship, and has hosted national tournaments like four NZ Opens, and regular NZ Amateur events.

The back nine

Situated 10 minutes drive from the centre of New Plymouth on State Highway 3, heading North to Hamilton, the course is easy to find, and visitors are welcome at all times.
