Feilding Golf Course is a beautiful park course with mature trees lining immaculately manicured fairways. Our course very rarely closes due to its porous, well draining soils and our greens are of the highest quality and condition in the region.
While an easy walk, the course is challenging to all levels and a test for the best golfers that have played it.
Lovely gardens frame many areas of the course and clubhouse, and Kereru and Tui are among the many birds that reside here.
With the Golf Shop open every day except Tuesday and an extremely friendly membership, you will always be welcome to either wander in your own time or join our members on a club or competition day.
We do recommend that you call the golf shop on 06 323 5976 to confirm course availability in the event of a members only or corporate golf day.

Kitchener Park is a much prized bush reserve, a mere few minutes drive from Feilding, in the Manawatu.
The park is an important remnant of lowland semi-swamp podocarp forest, one of the best and last-remaining in the Manawatu.
The park contains many fine specimens of kahikatea, totara, rimu, pukatea and kowhai trees, including until recently, New Zealand’s tallest kowhai. There are also many rare species of fungus and insect life in the park, which have been the subject of some intensive study by national and overseas scientists.

The Chelty (as locals fondly refer to it) is situated 2km's from here in Cheltenham.
Cheltenham is a small community with an approximate population of 66, with the hotel being the main focus. The Chelty is an historic building established in 1876. The hotel has been destroyed by fire twice in its long history, firstly in 1908 and then again in 1926.
Cheltenham became an important coaching stop for the mail and passenger services that quickly established once land at Kiwitea, Kimbolton, Rangiwahia and Apiti was sold for European settlement.
Cheltenham marks a key route intersection with travellers heading north taking either the "vinegar hill" route to State Highway 1 or the Kimbolton Road which leads to the Northern Manawatu districts of Kiwitea, Kimbolton, Rangiwahia and Apiti. This provides the opportunity for travellers to take a short refreshing break.
Pub food available.
