Poverty Bay Golf Club
Home to Poverty Bay Golf Club, founded in 1893, Awapuni Links is one of Aotearoa’s oldest and most underrated courses - the fifth oldest in the country and second oldest in the North Island. Set on mellow coastal dunes just minutes from the centre of Gisborne, it’s pure links golf with a laid-back East Coast spirit.
The sandy base keeps it firm and fast all year, with rolling fairways, sea breezes, and plenty of fun for all levels. It’s hosted some of the game’s greats - including multiple New Zealand Amateur Championships - but still welcomes everyone with a smile. The only dress code: no gumboots, no jeans, no singlets. Just surfy vibes, lively locals, and 18 holes of championship pedigree wrapped into one unforgettable round on the first links to see the light.
The free draining sandy soils allow play in even very wet weather. Hours after torrential rain the course is good to go. The fairways have a sprinkler system, and have an undulating topography. Strategic areas of uncontrolled rough give the course its reputation as a links.
The greens are amongst the best in New Zealand – an accolade repeated by visitors time and again, including New Zealand professionals who gather here each year for the Poverty Bay Pro Am Tournament.
Although a provincial course in an isolated part of New Zealand, Poverty Bay is extremely highly-regarded and the venue of several national tournaments.
We have a modern clubhouse, with locker rooms and showers, an upstairs lounge areas with full bar facilities and an outdoor deck area with extensive views overlooking the golf course.
There are men’s and women’s casual, but organised, scrambles and competitions during the week in which all members and visitors can become involved if they wish.
