Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to experience Roxburgh Golf Club's unique charm?

We always recommend visiting Roxburgh during the New Zealand spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May). You'll find the course in fantastic condition, the weather is pleasantly mild, and the surrounding Central Otago scenery, especially the fruit orchards, is absolutely stunning without the peak summer crowds.

What kind of challenge can I expect at Roxburgh, and are there any standout holes?

Roxburgh offers a surprisingly engaging challenge for its rural setting, with its undulating fairways and clever bunkering demanding thoughtful shot placement. Keep an eye out for the par-3 12th; it's a beauty that requires a precise iron shot over a gully, offering fantastic views of the valley.

Is Roxburgh Golf Club a good value for money compared to other courses in New Zealand?

Absolutely, Roxburgh is a fantastic value, especially when you consider the quality of the greens and the stunning backdrop. Green fees are very reasonable, making it an excellent choice for a memorable round without breaking the bank, unlike some of the more famous, pricier courses.

What makes playing a round at Roxburgh feel distinctly 'New Zealand' and unique?

Playing Roxburgh truly immerses you in the authentic, laid-back New Zealand golf experience. You'll often share the course with a few local sheep, enjoy genuinely friendly hospitality in the clubhouse, and soak in those wide-open, unpretentious Central Otago vistas that are just breathtaking.

What practical advice do you have for someone planning a round at Roxburgh?

We always suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes, as the course has some gentle undulations, and definitely bring a camera for those incredible views. While it's not overly long, a good rangefinder will help you navigate the subtle elevation changes and make the most of your round.
