About this course
Puketitiri Golf Club sits in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's North Island, in a rural setting characteristic of the area's pastoral landscape. The club serves the local community and visitors exploring this wine-growing region, offering a nine-hole layout typical of smaller provincial New Zealand courses. The design reflects the natural topography of the Hawke's Bay, with rolling terrain and views across farmland and distant hills that define the local character. The course routing takes advantage of the undulating ground, creating variety across its nine holes. Like many regional courses in New Zealand, Puketitiri combines open fairways with strategic bunkering and natural hazards. The setting provides the kind of authentic, unpretentious golf experience common to provincial clubs, where the focus remains on playability and enjoyment rather than championship difficulty. Membership tends to draw from the surrounding farming and business community, and the club functions as a social hub alongside its role as a golf venue. The Hawke's Bay's reputation for viticulture and outdoor recreation makes courses like Puketitiri natural gathering points for locals and visitors alike. While not widely known beyond the region, the club maintains the standards and traditions typical of New Zealand's provincial golf network, offering straightforward, honest golf in a rural setting.

Getting there
The journey to Puketitiri Golf Club begins at Hawke's Bay Airport in Napier, roughly an hour's drive northwest into the rugged hill country that defines this corner of New Zealand's North Island. The route climbs steadily from the coastal plains, trading vineyards and orchards for steep pastoral ridges and native bush, following the winding Tutaekuri River valley deeper into the backcountry. As sealed roads give way to gravel and the landscape grows wilder, the sense of remoteness intensifies - a fitting prelude to one of New Zealand's most charmingly isolated nine-hole layouts, perched high in the hills where farming tradition and golf converge in splendid seclusion.
