Where is the Nopera Golf course and how to get here?
Location
TThe Course is located at rapid number 6758 Kenepuru Rd. That is 67.58 kilometres from the Linkwater turnoff on Queen Charlotte Drive, the scenic route between Havelock and Picton. Even in the best conditions the drive is tricky due to many corners, but at present is still being repaired following the damaging floods of 2021 and restrictions are likely to apply until late 2027 while restoration work continues. See updates from Marlborough Roads for current status.
