This is a superb golf course close to Wellington City that has magnificent greens, pristine fairways, and an abundance of birds and flora amongst small lakes and the river along the boundary. The conditions here are great in summer with irrigation and in winter with the free draining qualities. A course that has tree lined fairways and natural water hazards is challenging but good for the low and high handicapper. It is a great Club to join, with not only the friendly membership and informative Pro Shop staff but also caters for the casual social golfer with realistic green fees. The membership also is very affordable with many options and an easy process to join. After having some social rounds I have now joined up and really enjoy the Tuesday and Thursday clubs and the Sunday afternoon play. This golf club will make you welcome and will do so with an amazing friendly attitude I can assure you that there is no need to worry about being in a four, the club will put you into one and you will be made so at ease what ever your stage of golf you are at. There is good practise facilities and a coach available at the club. Enjoy Shandon like I have. It is the home course of New Zealand professional Mark Brown.
