“The popularity of the competition has risen
recently, and now we are seeing over 100
players for Twilight golf most Thursday
nights. Not bad for a town of 5000 people!”
The club, on initiative of Moore, has also
been active in promoting females to take up
golf through the NZ Golf initiative ‘She Loves
Golf’. The program has managed to create a
lot of interest, which has resulted in around
20 new female members for the club.
With five different tee options ranging from
4,500 to 6,500 meters, the course can be
enjoyed by beginners all the way through
to professionals and is considered one of
the best inland links courses in the country,
providing a fair test to all levels.
The club completed an extensive $1M course
development in 2010-2012 by New Zealand
Tour Professional and Course Designer Greg
Turner, improving the course by adding
more character to the putting greens and a
better overall course layout. It boosts a fully
serviceable Clubhouse and Pro-Shop located
in the centre of the course, a full-length
driving range, short-game area and practice
putting green.
The club proudly hosted the New Zealand
Open final qualifying tournament earlier this
year, which saw some of New Zealand’s most
talented young amateur golfers tee off on
March 6.
Well done to the team at Cromwell for taking
some great initiative to grow their business.
