Chisholm Park Golf Club

Simply one of the better and most overlooked links-style courses you will find in the country- complete with cliff-top views and wonderful opportunities to play the elements off of the sea

Dunedin has been called the “Edinburgh of the South”, and thus it is fitting that the city have at least one Scottish-style links course. Developed on reserve land during the 1930's depression years Chisholm Park is in fact the only true links course in Dunedin.

Many golfers consider it second only to Paraparmumu (north of Wellington), establishing the course as an institution within the golfing world.

Complete with ocean views and measuring 6300yds this track is short by today's standards. However it presents a true test and demands players strike the ball cleanly- few get the better of it on their initial round.

Play Info and Signature Holes

9th: Par-4, the "Lawyer's Head" hole is one of the most difficult, with a green rimmed by clifftops.

Customer reviews

It was a trip of a lifetime with truly unique beauty not found anywhere else. A New Zealand trip requires a specialist who knows the lay of the land the unique challenges of traveling and sight-seeing there.

The country looks a lot smaller than it really is, and travel times are longer than one can assume.

The route chosen by Cristina helped us maximize our time there. I’m usually a do it yourself traveler, but for this trip I’m sure glad I had Cristina at Best of New Zealand.

I can’t thank you enough for your help planning a truly memorable vacation. Yuliya and I had an amazing time. Two definite highlights were the sailboat charter and the Marlborough Lodge. Nik and his girlfriend Natalie were such a pleasure to meet and spend a perfect day with. The Marlborough Lodge is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. From the room, to the staff and the exquisite food it was top notch. I have referred you to a couple of my friends who are planning trips next year and when We make it back, you will be our first call. Thank you again for everything.
