Taranaki – A Great Golf Destination I'm not sure we've ever truly shared this message with the world, but perhaps it's time we did. Taranaki is home to 18 golf courses, with three ranked among New Zealand's Top 50 courses. Combine that with our spectacular coastline, world-class parks, iconic mou...
What an incredibly exciting finish to the UNLIMIT Taranaki Open where Dominic Barson eagled the 18th to force a play off with Cameron Harlock. The players returned to the 18th hole for the sudden death play off where Dom made birdie to claim the title. The event was exceptional with top amateurs...
A Great Environment is the Key to Retention in Taranaki Creating a great environment in golf has never been more important. With participation on the rise, recruitment is proving to be the easy part. Retention, however, is where the real challenge lies—and environment is the key to getting it rig...
Great to see Pennant games underway around the province. The ladies are well into their 9-hole, midweek and weekend pennants, alongside the men's handicap pennants. It's a fantastic opportunity for players to experience different courses across the region and, of course, put the competitive hat o...

It feels like the rain and wind haven't stopped all month — and it all came together perfectly (or imperfectly!) for the Taranaki Golf Ambrose. Teams started, stopped, abandoned, a few even finished — but everyone ended up soaked. We switched to a random draw for the prizes, which brought plenty ...
Back from the River Rhine I've just returned in one piece from a trip along the River Rhine. Plenty of castles and cathedrals — though not many golf courses! I did manage to swing a club in Scotland at Bruntsfield Links, established in 1456 (no typo). A unique experience topped off with a visit t...
As you read this, I'm probably cruising down the Rhine, playing a round of golf in Scotland, or belting out Oasis tunes at Murrayfield. In saying that, you're in excellent hands with Lucinda and Chris zooming around the province, keeping things running smoothly. We're heading into a busy stretch ...
Yes, it's wet – and yes, it's winter. Not that you needed reminding – the soggy socks and muddy footprints probably did that for you. But with all this moisture around, there's one issue that's really starting to show up across our region: pitch marks. Now, I know I'm not the only one noticing th...
