Whangamata Golf Club
The Whangamata Golf Club is an 18-hole course set among native bush and rolling terrain on the edge of town. It offers a challenging and scenic round of golf for both members and visitors, with views across the town to the ocean. The club is known for its friendly atmosphere, well-maintained greens and welcoming approach to visiting players.
The Course
The Whangamata Golf Club is a par 70, 18-hole course measuring approximately 5,200 metres from the blue tees. The layout winds through a mix of open fairways and bush-lined holes, with several elevated tees offering panoramic views. The greens are well-maintained year-round, and the natural contours of the land make for an interesting and varied round.
Signature holes include the par-3 third, which plays downhill to a green framed by native bush, and the challenging par-4 sixteenth with its narrow fairway and tricky approach.
