The Eagles Golfing Society of Canterbury is a non-profit incorporated society of nearly fifty years, whose members have given distinguished service to their Clubs and the game of golf. The sixty current Canterbury members, elected to the Society by their peers or nominated by their golf club, must be dedicated to fostering the game of golf, promotion of the fellowship of golfers, assist in encouraging and instructing junior golfers, and promoting sportsmanship, skill and etiquette. The Canterbury Eagles Golfing Society have also a charitable interest in that we raise monies for the Halberg Trust who assist young personnel with disabilities to take part in sport or active leisure in the Canterbury / West Coast district administered by this Trust.
