St Clair Strokeplay 2026 – Back Bigger and Better!

The St Clair Strokeplay is back for 2026, and this year we’re turning it up a notch.

With a revamped 54-hole Elite Division, this event is shaping up as one of the must-play strokeplay tournaments on the calendar with plenty to play for.

What’s new (and exciting) for 2026:

• 54-hole Elite Division
• World Ranking Points on offer
• Three spots up for grabs in the NZ Open Qualifying at Cromwell
• A Hole-in-One car, proudly supplied by Southern Motor Group

Hole-in-One details:
All players 18yrs or over are eligible for the Hole-in-One (except pro and ex-pro golfers). 
The hole in one prize is on offer for your first round on Saturday only.  If playing two rounds, then it's your morning round.

# Entry details can be found in the flyer below
# Spots are limited, so we recommend getting your entry in early to avoid missing out.

We can’t wait to welcome players from near and far for another top-class Strokeplay at St Clair,

Note: All players will get free entry into the Shootout on Saturday.

Men's Club Captain Report

Dear Members

Last week we played the first round of the Platinum Homes club champs and a Stableford. Congrats to all who made it through the first round.  The best Stableford over the field was Geoffrey Lowman with 40 points.

This week we play the Dunedin Strokeplay. We have many options for members so please get involved. The following week we have a team heading to Waimate to regain the Brick trophy and we play a team best 3 out of 4 at St Clair.

Cross Country is back, register yourself or your team in the pro shop for Friday 20^th March.

Pennants. Yes, it’s that time of the year again. The team sheets are on the notice board in the men’s changing rooms. Please enter your names on the sheets. It’s a great way to play all the other Dunedin course and represent your club.

Studying in Dunedin this year and keen to play more golf?

We’ve put together some great student membership options at St Clair Golf Club, with a friendly, social atmosphere and regular student competitions.

All the details — including pricing and membership options — are in the flyer above so make sure you check it out.

If you’ve been thinking about joining a club or getting back into golf while you study, this is a great place to start.

We’d love to welcome you to St Clair.

Volunteers needed for our trapping programme

As most Members will know, we have a trapping programme on our course.

Due to people leaving town we are in need of another 2 to 4 extra trappers. This is organised through a roster system and would require a duty every 4-6 weeks. It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours each time and will require a bit of training for anybody wanting to join us in this very important and successful programme. We seem to be reasonably well on top of our pests as we now don't catch a lot but it would be a pity to let this slip.

If you are interested and would like to discuss your involvement please contact me.

Thank you
