Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Napier?

You'll find Napier's climate is pretty forgiving, but we always recommend visiting during the shoulder seasons-spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May). The weather is reliably pleasant for golf, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds, making tee times easier to secure and the overall experience more relaxed.

What kind of golf experience should I expect from Napier's two courses?

Napier offers a fantastic contrast, giving you two very distinct golf experiences. You'll find one course delivers a world-class, dramatic cliff-top links challenge with views that will absolutely steal your focus, while the other provides a more traditional, tree-lined parkland layout that's a true local favorite and a great test of accuracy.

Given there are only two courses, is Napier a good destination for a multi-day golf trip?

While Napier itself only has two courses, it's an excellent base for a focused, high-quality golf trip, especially if you appreciate variety. We suggest playing each course once, perhaps twice if you want to really master them, and then spending your afternoons exploring the region's famous Art Deco architecture or world-class wineries.

What should I budget for green fees and other costs when golfing in Napier?

Your budget for golf in Napier will vary quite a bit, largely depending on which course you prioritize. Expect to pay a premium for the region's internationally renowned cliff-top course-it's an investment in an unforgettable experience-while the local club offers a much more accessible and still very rewarding round.

Beyond the golf courses, what are the must-do activities in Napier?

When you're not on the fairways, Napier truly shines with its unique Art Deco heritage; take a guided walking tour to fully appreciate the architecture. We also highly recommend exploring the Hawke's Bay wine region-it's right on your doorstep and offers incredible cellar door experiences and fantastic dining.
