  • GOLF OUT EAST

From championship links to cruisy country gems  - Tairāwhiti is where golf goes on holiday.

In Tairāwhiti, golf feels like a holiday - whether you’re chasing birdies at historic coastal links with serious pedigree or kicking back with the locals at a cruisy country gem. From Gisborne through to the top of the 35, this region serves up the full spectrum: ocean views, paddock fairways, tree-lined town courses, and golf with genuine heart.

You’ll find dramatic tee boxes perched high above the coast, nine-hole tracks guarded by livestock and legend, and clubs where the welcome is as warm as the sunshine. Some courses punch above their weight, others charm with simplicity - but every one has a story, a smile, and a place to tee it up.

From first light to last call at the clubhouse, golf in Tairāwhiti is pure East Coast energy - laid-back, full of mana, and best played with time on your side.
