Gore Golf Club fairway with bunkers, pond and mountains in the distance

Gore Golf Club

A treelined parkland test in Eastern Southland, home to Croydon Links since 1931.

Gore Golf Club is 3 km from the main town centre. The course is a flat 18 holes and claims to be one of the finest in the region. Treelined parkland course with well-presented undulating greens.

The club has a long history, established in 1903. The current course has been home to the course since 1931, called Croyden Links by those in the know.
