Rain stopped just in time for Saturday's 11am tee-off and club president Graham Hiscoke said 70 golfers came out to celebrate the third-oldest golf club in New Zealand.
About 100 were at the clubhouse on Friday night and 120 were booked for dinner at the Oamaru Club on Saturday night.
The 280-member club started at what is now known as Hospital Hill in Oamaru. The club celebrated 90 years at its location south of town.
Visitors, Mr Hiscoke said, ``can't believe the views'', which were especially good of the Kakanui Range on the 4th hole, and the sea on the 5th and 14th holes.
