Junior Coaching & Family Golf

We’re passionate about introducing kids to the game. Our coaches are active in local schools and we reserve Sunday tee times for juniors and families to play together. Golf at Pupuke is about more than scores — it’s about community, confidence, and character.

She Loves Golf/Make Time Play 9

Pupuke works closely with Golf NZ to grow the game through inclusive initiatives like She Loves Golf and Make Time Play 9. From complete beginners to confident players, we’re always creating space for more people to get involved.

Where Lydia Ko Started

At just six years old, Lydia Ko first walked into Pupuke Golf Club with her mother Tina — and the rest is New Zealand golf history. Her journey began right here. Who knows where yours might go?
