Dreaming about a relaxing golfing getaway? Then Nelson Tasman is the place for you. We have some of the best year-round weather in the country where, like Goldilocks, it is neither too hot nor too cold, meaning that you can confidently plan your trip at any time.

Better still, our courses mirror the stunning natural landscapes the Nelson Tasman region is renowned for, a favourite for Kiwis and visitors alike. 

We have links courses with sweeping sea and estuary views, hilltop stunners, parkland and valley charmers and quiet rural gems. Many are less than an hour’s drive of each other and are situated close to vineyards, craft breweries, beaches, cafes and restaurants, art galleries, biking and walking trails and other attractions for you to enjoy after your round. 

Unlike other regions, our golf courses are affordable for everyone, with green fees typically ranging from $20 to $50. You can be sure of a friendly welcome and for most of the year bookings are not essential. 

We are highly connected to other parts of the country, with Nelson Tasman having one of the busiest and best-linked airports, making it quick and easy to get here for a relaxing golfing getaway. Alternatively, the highways into the region are a scenic pleasure for those with more time to spare before hitting the green.
