Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Linton Golf Club?

We think the shoulder seasons - late spring (October-November) and early autumn (March-April) - offer the best conditions at Linton. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and the wetter winter months, enjoying firm fairways and vibrant greens without the crowds.

What's the most challenging or memorable hole at Linton?

For us, the par-4 14th really stands out - it's a dogleg left with a deceptive uphill approach to a well-guarded green. The views over the Manawatu plains from the tee are stunning, but don't let them distract you from the tricky bunker placement.

How do Linton's green fees compare to other courses in the region, and is it good value?

Linton offers fantastic value, especially when you compare it to some of the more high-profile courses further north. You'll find the green fees are very reasonable for a well-maintained course, making it a smart choice if you're looking for quality golf without breaking the bank.

What kind of atmosphere should I expect at Linton Golf Club? Is it very formal?

Forget any stuffy country club vibes - Linton is a genuinely welcoming, unpretentious club. You'll find a friendly local crowd, a relaxed pace, and a clubhouse where everyone's happy to share a post-round yarn. It's a true taste of Kiwi golf hospitality.

What's your top practical tip for someone visiting Linton Golf Club for the first time?

Our best advice is to book your tee time a few days in advance, especially if you're planning a weekend round - it's a popular spot with locals. Also, make sure to grab a pie from the clubhouse cafe after your game; they're legendary and the perfect Kiwi refuel.
