Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play Strathmore Golf Club, and what will the weather be like?

We recommend aiming for late spring through early autumn (October to April) for the most consistent weather. You'll find warmer temperatures and less wind, making for a much more enjoyable round on these exposed fairways.

How challenging is Strathmore Golf Club for an average player?

Strathmore offers a fair test, but don't underestimate the wind, which can turn a straightforward shot into a real battle. The course layout is generally forgiving off the tee, but approach shots demand precision to avoid the well-placed bunkers and subtle undulations.

What's the standout feature or "must-see" hole at Strathmore?

For us, it's the panoramic views of the surrounding New Zealand landscape that truly set Strathmore apart. Keep an eye out on the back nine-especially around the 14th and 15th-where the elevated tees offer breathtaking vistas that might just distract you from your swing.

Is Strathmore Golf Club good value for money compared to other New Zealand courses?

Absolutely, Strathmore provides excellent value, especially when you consider the quality of the greens and the stunning scenery. You're getting a genuine Kiwi golf experience without the premium price tag often associated with more famous courses.

What should we do after our round at Strathmore?

After your game, definitely grab a drink at the clubhouse-the local banter is always good. If you're looking for a bite, we suggest heading into the nearby town for some classic fish and chips; it's the perfect way to cap off a day on the links.
