Royal Wellington
Royal Wellington is one of New Zealand’s most established parkland courses, framed by mature trees in Upper Hutt. The routing follows defined corridors, with doglegs and subtle shaping placing emphasis on positioning.
The course rewards control and discipline, particularly when navigating lines between trees and setting up approaches into carefully maintained greens. It is a composed and traditional experience, relying on structure rather than scale.
Viewed from above, the par-five fourth green sits almost at right angles to the line of play. Positioning the second shot to the left opens the safest approach into a putting surface closely guarded by water and sand
The par-three eighth sits within the mature parkland that defines Royal Wellington. From above, the creek, bunker and large tree show how tightly the green is framed
Royal Wellington became the first golf club in New Zealand to receive Royal status in 2004. Its 27 holes are complemented by tennis and pickleball courts, a swimming pool, extensive practice facilities and clubhouse dining for members and visiting golfers.
