John Thompson, the driving force behind Riversdale Beach Golf Club, has crafted an unmissable golfing experience on the Wairarapa coastline. Just a 45-minute drive from Masterton, players will find a well-maintained 9-hole course that transforms into a challenging 18-hole layout with varied tees. Despite its tight fairways, this course offers a rewarding game for all skill levels.
Thanks to a dedicated full-time greenkeeper, the course is in top-notch shape year-round. Golfers can count on a warm welcome whenever they visit this hidden gem in New Zealand.
The clubhouse isn't just for post-game relaxation. With stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, it doubles as a venue for weddings, corporate functions, and social events. The bar, fully stocked and open on Tuesdays from 5pm and Friday to Sunday from 4pm, ensures you can always grab a refreshment. In summer, the clubhouse stays open longer, and Salt Streetfood's Friday night dinners are a hit among locals and visitors.
John is especially proud of Riversdale Beach Golf Club’s community role. It's home to the Riversdale Beach Fishing Club and acts as the Community Emergency Hub. The club fosters a welcoming atmosphere, driven by active community involvement.
Green fees are budget-friendly, ranging from $5 for juniors to $30 for all-day play, making the course accessible for everyone. Club and trundler hires are also available at $15.
Safety is a priority at Riversdale. The club has robust health and safety measures in place to protect every player, employee, and visitor. Detailed health and safety info is accessible for all.
A course preview is available on the club’s website, featuring maps, photos, and hole details. Club members have their own special days with Club Day every Saturday at 1:00pm (1:30pm DST) and designated days for ladies and men on Wednesdays and Fridays, respectively. Visitors are always welcome, and John is open to any inquiries.
For golfers seeking a memorable experience in New Zealand, Riversdale Beach Golf Club is the place to be.
