Norfolk Island Golf

Issue date: 27 February 2018

Overview

Quality Row (originally named Military Road) dates back to 1825, when its elegant houses served as quarters for military and civil officers during the island’s second penal settlement. No.1 Quality Row is now the clubhouse for the Norfolk Island Golf Club, making it one of the only golf clubs in the world located within a World Heritage Site (the Kingston and Arthurs Vale Historic Area). The course features Kikuyu fairways and 328 greens. Its position on the south-east side of the island provides lovely ocean views and challenging coastal breezes for those who play there.

Golf at this location is said to have first commenced in 1913, when Lottie Stephenson drove a golf ball down the first fairway on what was then called Elliot Links, though the club itself was established in 1927. With more than 90 active members, Norfolk Island Golf Club is one of the island’s busiest sporting clubs. Key events throughout the year include the Norfolk Island Veteran’s Cup and the Hardys Wines Pro-Am Classic.
