Boulcott's Farm

Situated close to where the Battle of Boulcott’s Farm stockade took place during the New Zealand land wars between British forces and local Mâori people in the 1840s, the course at Lower Hutt has been in use since 1909 when a 9-hole layout was first established.

A further four holes were brought into play a couple of years after the course’s inauguration but the intervention of hostilities during World War I delayed the arrival of a full 18-hole layout until the late 1920s.

The golf clubs of Hutt (formed in 1892) and Boulcott (founded in 1938) were amalgamated in 2010, thus creating New Zealand’s first Heritage Golf Club at Boulcott’s Farm, so all the members of the newly merged club play at the same Military Road venue.

Currently the 18-hole course at Boulcott's Farm is being reconstructed in stages, following a masterplan laid out by Chris Pitman (who was responsible for the universally acclaimed renovation / restoration at Titirangi). A new short 6-hole course has also been completed – all to USGA standards.
