Marlborough Golf Club

Located among vineyards, you’ll enjoy the scenery and course challenge when you play at Marlborough Golf Course, Fairhall, Blenheim –the region’s premier course.

Founded in 1900, it’s one of New Zealand’s oldest courses. The par is 72 over 6052 metres off the blue tees. With only 400 members, the course is never crowded. It’s a friendly club where visitors are always welcome. Usually, you can tee off without booking a tee time, but to be sure, you can book online. It’s easy walking with a variety of trees and terrain, water hazards, out of bounds in the vines, making it a good test of golf. The course is extremely well maintained by our greenkeeping staff assisted by club volunteers. Having an extensive course watering system and being one of the sunniest places in the country also helps. The clubhouse offers fine wines from the club’s sponsors, so the 19th is well worth a visit after your game. The club is less than 10 minutes’ drive from Blenheim's town centre and near many of the area’s top cellar doors. A round of golf with us is a must during your visit to Blenheim.

The course offers fun and challenges to all golfers, going out of bounds is not hard, particularly if you have a slice! There are not too many bunkers, but there are lakes and creeks to watch out for. The course is mostly flat with a couple of small hills on the front nine and then of course the usual trees spread throughout. They say hit long and straight and all will be fine, (if only it were that easy), but whatever level you’re at, you are sure to enjoy this great course.
