Riverton Golf Course

Riverton Golf Club is a 9-hole course located in Southland, New Zealand, representing the region's closest example of a links-style layout. The course features sand-based, undulating fairways that provide varied lies and challenging playing conditions. The terrain is naturally uneven, offering few flat lies and requiring strategic shot-making throughout a round. Out of bounds fences are prevalent throughout the course, creating a cautious approach that encourages disciplined play and scoring opportunities for handicap improvement. The course is designed as an accessible holiday destination with affordable green fees, making it attractive to visiting golfers. The links-style characteristics and undulating landscape create a distinctive playing experience that distinguishes it from typical inland courses in the region.
