Nelson Links is a superbly crafted links golf course that blends seamlessly into the natural coastal terrain.

Golf began in Nelson 111 years ago on a nine-hole course in Tahunanui about where the Kentucky Fried Chicken corner is today.This marked the birth of the Nelson Golf Club. Land was leased from an estate but in 1902 the land was put up for sale and subdivided. New links were established in 1905 and on April 29 that year play began.

Two years later a clubhouse was opened. The building still stands next to the tee block of the No. 2 hole and is operated as a bed and breakfast house. Play continues today on basically the same area although through the 20th century, particularly as a result of the Second World War, the shape of the course has changed considerably. Changes are continuing today.

To play Nelson Links is a unique experience in New Zealand. One of only seven courses across the country that offer a True Links Experience.

When you arrive you will receive a warm welcome, and your on course experience will reflect the very best that links golf has to offer. The greens at Nelson Links are superb and the layout is a challenging but fair test for all levels of golfer.
