Pleasant Point Golf Club

Nestled in the gentle rolling farmland of South Canterbury, Pleasant Point Golf Club offers a truly authentic Kiwi golfing experience. From the moment you arrive in the tranquil township of Pleasant Point, the surroundings whisper of calm — yet the golfing challenge delivers steel. The original front nine winds through tree-lined paddocks and vintage charm; the back nine, redesigned by Ross Newdick, introduces a winding stream, mature trees and strategic shaping that bites into the flat terrain with elegance.

Whether you arrive from nearby Timaru or traverse the sweeping Canterbury plains, you’ll find a warm welcome, pristine greens and fairways irrigated meticulously for year-round play. With a par of 71 across its 18 holes, the course is walkable, scenic and infused with character — without losing its competitive edge.

As an independent club open to visitors, Pleasant Point balances the best of both worlds: member atmosphere and open-door appeal. Hire a cart or walk the links, enjoy the clubhouse hospitality, and soak up the timeless rural views from start to finish.

If you’re planning a New Zealand trip and want a course where quality, accessibility and local charm converge, Pleasant Point should be on your radar. Not a trophy venue chasing headlines — simply a beautifully kept, welcoming course that lets the golfing shine.
