Hokitika Golf Club

2026 BULLER WESTLAND DAY 1 DRAW ⛳

We look forward to welcoming golfers from 17 Golf Clubs throughout the South Island to our links for this one.

Black Tee Grade ⬛ These are your big dogs folks - I'm gonna be honest, it's⚠️⚠️ for our Black tee course record which looks set to be obliterated. 2025 Champ Justin Brochocki is back and is naturally 1st off 1, he has 5 ➕golfers to contend with & a bloke from Hokitika Golf who loves setting course records also - Given the majority of players will not have teed it up on our ⬛ course we're set for a hell of a line honours battle.

Blue Tee Grade 🔵 These gents are the heart & soul of any event to be honest, birdies, snowmen, mooses, beers & banter in this grade folks 🦃☃️🦬🍻 - Playing stablefords for the big 💰- great field. Thanks to the lot of you !

Yellow Tee Grade 🌼 Our ladies. A huge thanks to you all for coming, a really important part of the golf community, Yep we'd love a few more, but hey we're super grateful for those that are coming - It means a lot to us 🙏
