The 7th annual Trinity Hill Hawkes Bay 54 Hole Golf Classic was a hugely successful week bringing much need tourism dollars and visitors to the flood affected region. 112 golfers participated in the Classic playing 54 holes at Cape Kidnappers, Maraenui and Hastings Courses. The Napier Golf Course, a regular in our 4 course line-up is making great progress in their repair work after Cyclone Gabrielle and we look forward to their full return to play in 2024.
We thank our major sponsor Trinity Hill Wines for their continued and fantastic support of our tournament - Trinity Hill Wines have been with us all 7 years and their wines just continue to get better and better!
