Southland Golf Club (Oreti   Sands) is the Southern-most 18 hole links in the World, situated 10 Kms Southwest of Invercargill, the most southerly city. In the 2015 rankings put out by the top100 Golf Courses of the World, we are now ranked 12th in New Zealand and 4th in the South Island.

 

The course features a links layout with large greens on a sandy base that will challenge even the most experienced player.

 

 

 

John Huggan, European golfing correspondent, said that Oreti Sands is one of the two best Kiwi courses he has played.

 

"Oreti Sands was particularly enjoyable and incredibly good value for money.  In fact, this remote and dramatic course has the potential to be that ever-elusive 'hidden gem' you read about in the glossy travel magazines.  Such is the quality and variety of an endless stream of interesting and challenging holes.  Go there soon; this is a great place to play golf."

 

Former top NZ Professional golfer, Greg Turner (now into golf course design) and his associate Scott Macpherson secured funding in 2006 to develop the course and work commenced on altering the layout in January 2007.  Four spectacular new holes have been added, four have been removed and several others modified. 

 

The new layout was officially opened for club members on 7th March 2009.  On Monday 9th March an exhibition match was played between Peter Senior & Peter O'Malley versus Peter Fowler & Mahal Pearce.

 

Greg Turner believes this course has the potential to be amongst the finest Links in the Southern Hemisphere.
