Established in 1919 the Avondale Golf Club has stood proud in the east of Christchurch. A penchant to challenge the status quo the club has survived wars, recession and more recently, earthquakes. Originally 12 holes and developed in to 18 in the decade following the club has led the way in inclusion from its outset.
The 2011 earthquakes had significant impact on the course and its facilities resulting in substantial change to the natural topography and the total rebuild of the 90-year old clubhouse. The new clubhouse facility is truly a “19th Hole” with more. As part of it’s rebuild following the Christchurch Earthquakes the decision was made to move the location of the clubhouse. This resulted in a more centralised building with much wider views of the course. Two state of the art virtual golf simulators were also incorporated in the new building, the first club to do so in New Zealand.
