It was the year of 1951 that Drummond locals called a meeting to initiate their idea of a golf course being established in their local district. With the support of the local Domain Board, who ownes the bare land, these locals set about surrounding the area on three sides by planting trees, also in rows outlining fairways, and then eventually purchasing a removable building as a practical solution for a club house. Today, this asset continues to contribute as an active sports and social venue for the local community of Drummond, with many of its current members travelling as far away as from Invercargill and Winton to play golf at this friendly club.
The 9 hole, 18 tees golf course supports a sizeable wooded pond area, which is surrounded on all sides by fairways. Its in these trees and along the fairway trees, that many native birds can be heard, which in due course will soon become a wild bird sanctuary.
Today, with the continued support of its members it is not surprising that the Drummond Golf Course is very attractive course, a flat course, which many would say is the easiest course in Southland to play on.
If you’re passionate about golf in the quiet and serenity of country life, then this is the course for you, either as a full member, a country member or just wanting that causal round of golf. For non-members green fees for 18 holes is $10.
Drummond Club Members welcome visitors on club days, Saturday - tee off starting at 1.00pm, with Tuesday set aside as ladies, tee off at 10.30am.
This attractive golf course is located in the middle of the Southland plane at Boundary Road, Drummond, 20 km from Winton and 40 km from Invercargill.
