Est. 1919
A history worth knowing.
Avondale Golf Club has stood proud in the east of Christchurch since 1919. With a penchant for challenging the status quo, the club has survived wars, recession, and more recently, earthquakes. Originally 12 holes, the course was developed to 18 in the decade following — and has led the way in inclusion from its outset.
The 2011 Canterbury earthquakes had a significant impact on the course and its facilities, resulting in substantial change to the natural topography and the total rebuild of what was then a 90-year-old clubhouse. All works were completed in 2019 and duly celebrated as part of the club's Centenary events.
In recent years the club has led the way in membership and rounds-played growth, and has been recognised within the golfing industry for its innovation and desire to put members and golfers at the heart of everything it does.

The Clubhouse
The 19th Hole and beyond.
The new clubhouse is truly a "19th Hole" with more. Completed as part of the club's Centenary rebuild, it's a centralised building positioned with panoramic views across the course. Ample outdoor areas, big screens for live sport, and a pool table — it's not your typical clubhouse.
Two state-of-the-art virtual golf simulators were incorporated into the new build — the first club in New Zealand to do so. These form a key part of the member offering: warm up before a round, test equipment, or book in on a rainy day across 40 built-in courses.
Asahi Premium Beverages support the bar — home to the widest range of products of any local golf club. Bar and café are always open to members and visitors alike.
