About

Location

Discover

Established in 1896, the Napier Golf Club is the oldest in the greater Hawke’s Bay region, just minutes away from Hastings Golf Club. Situated on the East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island, the Napier golf course hosted the first New Zealand Open in 1907 and has enjoyed a long history in the country’s golf scene. The semi-private golf club welcomes visitors, and getting a green fee is not difficult. Golf carts are not allowed on the Napier golf course unless you have a medical condition with an appropriate certificate. Napier Golf Club is just a 10-minute drive from the local airport and a great addition to any Hawke’s Bay or Cape Kidnappers golf holiday.

Golf Course Information

Napier golf course is laid out over relatively flat terrain. The course is a traditional parkland layout with tree-lined fairways and many greenside bunkers. It is easy to walk with a pull-trolley or electric trolley. The course, located near Waiohiki in Napier Bay, is one of the best in the Napier region. The course is laid-out with challenging par-fours that offer doglegs and greens that are deceptively protected by runoffs, greenside roughs and bunkers.

 

The 18-hole route at Napier Golf Club is a fun challenge for amateurs and low-handicappers alike. The wind is luckily not much of a challenge, as the course lies near a river at a low-point in Hawke’s Bay, set about a kilometre back from the ocean. A pleasant parkland course, Napier combines traditional Maori heritage with the game of golf, notably producing some key Maori golfers such as Kurupo Tareha and his son Kapi in the early 1900s. Napier golf club is a fantastic way to round out your Cape Kidnappers experience by warming up fresh of the plane or getting even after your Kidnappers golf package.
