Situated in the peaceful and picturesque Maitai Valley just 10 minutes from central Nelson, Waahi Taakaro golf course is a well-maintained, challenging and affordable 9-hole course run and owned by the Nelson City Council
The Waahi Taakaro Golf Club, established in 1974, is known for the friendly welcome it give all golfers. It has clubrooms at the course that its members helped established. Among the events it hosts is the annual 27-hole Maitai Masters held at the end of March.
The undulating and tree-lined course, which twice crosses the Maitai River, is a lovely walk and a blaze of colour in the autumn. It is home to wood pigeons, quail and other wildlife and there are spectacular views down the valley.
