Riverton Golf Club

A classic nine-hole links course on the coast, where the Aparima River meets the Foveaux Strait.

On the coast overlooking the Foveaux Straight this town of Riverton is a holiday hotspot. 30 minutes from Invercargill it is an integral part of the Southern Scenic route on Highway 99.

The Riveria of the South is blessed with a 9 hole golf course in the classic links style. The holiday makers and locals alike are in for a treat if they get out for a round at Riverton.

The Aparima river flows down from the Takitimu Mountains and comes out at Riverton and off into the Foveaux Straight. A treacherous stretch of water not for the faint-hearted.

The golf course is a little more tame and has a wonderful undulating nature of a links course. Add this course to your holiday plans.
