Manor Park Golf Sanctuary

Manor Park Golf Sanctuary is an 18-hole championship Par-71 course located in the Wellington area, set within native bush and wetlands with gently rolling fairways. The course is uniquely bordered by the Hutt River to the east and Haywards Stream to the west, creating a demanding layout that rewards straight hitting and good ball-striking technique.

The club has produced several notable professional golfers, including Michael Campbell, Gareth Paddison, Daniel Hillier, Lynette Brooky, and Julianne Alvarez, who have achieved success at national and international levels. Established over a century ago, Manor Park celebrated its centenary in 2013 and maintains a strong community reputation.

The course features diverse wildlife, including 20 bird species and native flora and fauna throughout. Manor Park is recognized for its commitment to environmental stewardship, following Audubon International's Cooperative Sanctuary Programme guidelines. Extensive practice facilities include a Par-3 practice hole, separate fairway area, chipping and bunker greens, and driving nets. The clubhouse offers dining and function facilities, while the club operates an active junior programme utilizing the Operation 36 coaching system and maintains a focus on growing women's participation in golf.
