Bringing It Home to Christchurch – Where Legends Are Made
Bringing It Home to Christchurch – Where Legends Are Made
Christchurch — you’ve already made history with us once, and now, the road leads back to where it all began.
Back in 2017, the Clearwater Driving Range hosted the very first South Island Championship — a head-to-head battle between South Island’s Iain Dick and North Island’s Sam Jones. Sam walked away with the crown, becoming the first-ever New Zealand Long Drive Champion, and etching his name in history as the original New Zealand Long Black — our Golden Cap.
Fast forward to 2025, and we’re returning to the South stronger than ever.
Thanks to the incredible crew at Templeton Golf Club, the stage is set for a massive comeback with the inaugural XDL Christchurch Regional Championship on Thursday, 19th September.
This championship is powered by our naming partner Goodwin Excavations, who’ve locked in their support for the next three years — along with key event partners Waterways and Civil, Erect Scaffolding, and Recreation Station. Together, they’re not only driving this event, but also backing the future of XDL construction and development in Christchurch from 2026 onward.
A special shoutout to Recreation Station for leading the charge in our “Giving Back” initiative, teaming up with FUTURES Canterbury to support and inspire young golfers across the region.
Whether You DRIVE Long or Just Love the Energy:
Be there. Stand on the tee. Witness history — or make it yourself.
We’ll be crowning three division champions: Men’s, Women’s, and Masters — and giving them the choice to DRIVE forward to the North or South Island Championships. Our scouts will be watching closely for that next standout — the next New Zealand Long Black.
Our national champions don’t just take home a title — they represent New Zealand on the world stage, invited to international events in the most exciting global locations by the International Long Drive Federation.
So…
GO BIG or GO HOME.
Bring your best DRIVES.
Represent Christchurch.
Claim your place in XDL history.
