Frequently Asked Questions

Is Frankton Golf Centre a good option for a casual round or if I'm new to golf?

Yes, absolutely. We love Frankton for its relaxed atmosphere and forgiving layout, making it perfect for beginners or a quick, fun round. You'll find it's far less intimidating than some of the region's championship courses, and the driving range is excellent for warming up.

What kind of golf experience can I expect at Frankton Golf Centre?

You're looking at a well-maintained 9-hole course that's genuinely enjoyable for all skill levels. It's not about epic length here, but rather a chance to work on your short game and enjoy the stunning Queenstown backdrop without the pressure of a full 18. We especially appreciate its walkability and friendly pace.

Do I need to book a tee time in advance at Frankton, and what are the typical costs?

While booking is always a good idea, especially during peak season, Frankton is generally more flexible than other Queenstown courses. You'll find the green fees incredibly reasonable, offering fantastic value for a round in such a beautiful location. It's definitely one of the most budget-friendly golf options around.

Beyond the 9-hole course, what other facilities does Frankton Golf Centre offer?

Frankton is a true golf centre, not just a course. You'll find a fantastic driving range, perfect for practice, and a fun mini-golf course that's a huge hit with families and non-golfers alike. It's a great spot to spend an afternoon even if not everyone in your group is playing a full round.

When is the best time of year to play at Frankton Golf Centre, and what should I bring?

We recommend visiting during the shoulder seasons-spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May)-for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Always bring layers, as Queenstown weather can change quickly, and don't forget your camera; the views of The Remarkables are spectacular from the course.
