Wanaka Golf Club

Our tournament week is underway this morning with the women’s Stableford. Cool & calm conditions, with some sun expected to peek through shortly. The course will be soggy from continual rain over the weekend but should dry out quickly.

Good luck to all players, and a special welcome to our out-of-town visitors - thank you.

We appreciate the continued support of our sponsors, especially major sponsor ANZ Private.

Thank you to Liz and her team of helpers, all the volunteers, greenkeepers, bar & kitchen, pro shop, office staff and all those who contribute in making this week one of the highlights of our golfing calendar.

Play well!! 😁
