Waikare Golf Club in Te Kauwhata is a popular spot for golfers of all levels. Less than an hour’s drive from Auckland and Hamilton, it's just 2 kilometres from State Highway 1.
The 18-hole course is set on flat, gently rolling land. Golfers will navigate ponds, waterways, and tree-lined fairways, with views of surrounding farms and rural landscapes. The well-kept greens and unique statues make the course stand out.
Kelly, the organiser, wants everyone to know how dedicated and experienced the management team is. With 225 members, including both men and women, the club has a strong board and committee that keeps things running smoothly. They’re passionate about golf and aim to make the club welcoming and inclusive.
Throughout the year, Waikare Golf Club hosts various events and tournaments. These are great opportunities for members to compete and socialise. The club also stays active online through their Facebook page, keeping everyone updated.
If you’re keen to join or just want to visit for a game, booking a tee time is straightforward through the club’s website. Businesses interested in sponsorship can also find information there.
Overall, Kelly believes Waikare Golf Club is a must-visit for golfers. With stunning views, a well-maintained course, and a friendly atmosphere, it’s a great place to enjoy a round of golf in New Zealand’s countryside.
