Chisholm Links

The best links course on New Zealand’s South Island. The Chisholm Links are located close to the old town of Dunedin, the so-called Scotland of the South at the southeastern coast of the South Island. The course extends along a fantastic section of the steep coastal cliffs. It offers breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean, and convinces by its traditional layout. The par-71 championship course is 5,700 meters and has already hosted several large tournaments, such as the Dunedin Classic Pro Golf Tournaments, part of the Australasian PGA. The typically “Scottish” links course was founded in 1938 and features four tees per hole. The terrain is undulating and dotted with numerous bunkers, making it both diverse and challenging. Here, experienced golfers are also sure to find the perfect conditions for an interesting round of golf. Holes 8, 9, 10, and 11 are particularly beautiful, with unique views of the beach and ocean. Chisholm Links is in perfect condition year-round. This, combined with the landscapes and the hospitality of the members turn this golf course into a real gem. Chisholm Links is located around five minutes by car from Dunedin, one of the country’s largest cities. The historic old town still hints at its 19th-century history, when Dunedin was the richest town of New Zealand thanks to the gold rush. A beautiful place and great course in unique surroundings.
