Southern Lakes Sanctuary and The Hills invite you to be part of a one-of-a-kind community event that blends world-class golf, contemporary sculpture and conservation in action.
This is more than a day on the green – it’s a rare opportunity to play or visit one of New Zealand’s most iconic courses – while backing the biodiversity of the Southern Lakes.
Every donation raised will help fund vital community-led conservation across the landscapes that make this part of Aotearoa so extraordinary.
