Rotorua Golf Club History

The first recording of golf in Rotorua dates back to 1902 when a recording was made in the record of the New Zealand Parliament that 'Golf links will undoubtedly prove a source of pleasure to the many visitors and enquiries are being made with a view of establishing them'. From this beginning golf was played on a casual basis at various venues in and around the then small town of Rotorua, New Zealand. It was not until 1906 that the Rotorua Golf Club came to life and has continued strongly to this day. The early years saw the club have three different homes in quick succession until finally arriving at Arikikapakapa Reserve in 1912. The Reserve had been gifted to the Crown, along with other Reserves in the growing town, by the representative of Ngati Whakaue. Arikikapakapa was especially set aside 'for recreation and the medicinal use of hot springs'.
