Queenstown Lakes District Council community services general manager Paul Wilson said the court was in "such a state of disrepair" it had to be closed last November.
The hockey club raised $10,000 towards the project, while the QLDC had budgeted $60,000 for the resurfacing, received a further $15,000 from the Community Trust of Southland, and approved another $14,000 in February to meet the shortfall.
"The hockey club desperately needed a hockey pitch and had been forced to travel to Cromwell for practice on the nearest all-weather surface," Mr Wilson said.
Club president Jude Chandler said the Astro Turf had been used in the last few weeks of the season and with lighting now installed, the club was looking forward to all teams being able to practise locally next year.
The facility has a full-sized circle line marked specifically for hockey which enabled goal-scoring drills to be practised.
"Our youngest members will also look forward to hosting their first mini's tournament in Queenstown with teams travelling from all areas of Central Otago," she said.
The club also hoped the new pitch would encourage new members to join in the Wakatipu Basin.
Mr Wilson said the project had been a "real community partnership" not just for the hockey club, but also tennis enthusiasts.
Lakes Leisure would be installing tennis nets once the hockey season ended.
The courts were free for casual use but there would be a fee associated with bookings from October 1, in line with the new pricing policy, Mr Wilson said.
