OHOPE BEACH GOLF LINKS

Recently branded as Ohope Beach Golf Links. The course was officially opened on 13 April 1975 with a membership of 68, the course itself a very rough nine holes and the clubhouse a small cottage. Within 10 years club numbers had swelled to 250 and a new clubhouse had been built by members providing labour and donating material and services. The course had also been extended to 18 holes and the club now felt confident in asserting itself to be the Ohope International Golf Club capable of hosting Championship tournaments. From such humble beginnings the course and its clubhouse facilities have been constantly upgraded and superbly maintained, attracting the accolades of many golfing aficionados. Golf professional and course architect Greg Turner has acclaimed the course to have ‘a seaside terrain as dramatic as any thing in the British Isles Their description of the course, more than any other words, best describes the experience being offered to the golfer: ‘a hidden gem…a gorgeous seaside links course, with bumpy terrain and incredible

sea views, the course is natural, raw and rustic’. Little wonder the course has quickly become a destination for visiting national and international golfers. However, the club is not just about golf. A recent refurbishment of the clubrooms lounge and an upgrade of the kitchen facilities has ensured that the clubhouse has become a premier destination for weddings, corporate

functions and social occasions. Whatever the reason for your visit to our golf course

the friendly members and dedicated staff at Ohope International Golf Club look forward to welcoming you.
