COURSE OVERVIEW

The Heretaunga Course

COURSE DESIGN

A storied, Championship course that has stood the test of time.

Royal Wellington Golf Club’s first course at Heretaunga opened in 1908 and was upgraded and refined at intervals over the next 60 years.

In 1974, a new course opened, designed by Sloan Morpeth and J.S. Watson, which utilised existing holes and new land acquired at either end of the original course. A further nine holes, some of them original, were set aside as an ‘inner-nine’. In 1992-93, new sand-based greens, designed by Sir Bob Charles and John Darby, were built for the championship course.

The club’s long-held desire to build a world-class course, tee to green, led to the rebuilding of the championship Heretaunga course, designed by Greg Turner and Scott Macpherson and opened in 2013. It used existing corridors and new land opened up near the Awakairangi/Hutt River. Nine holes were set aside for what is known as the Terrace course.

Today, the Heretaunga course offers a challenging and stimulating game set in a picturesque location.
