Waimate Golf Club

OUR CLUB
The Waimate Golf Club is situated on the western outskirts of Waimate, a town of 2800 which is 47km south of Timaru.
The club was established in 1965 as a nine hole club and became an 18 hole club in 1974. Our club is in good heart with around 100 members & 40 members in the mens and womens groups respectively.
We also have an active golfing juniors club with 20 to 30 kids turning up regularly to learn how to play golf and to have a hit on the course with some of our experienced members.

THE COURSE
The Waimate course is undulating and tree lined with wide fairways and is beautifully maintained by our fulltime greenkeeper and a dedicated group of member volunteers.
The entire layout is magnificently planted with many ornamental trees and has picturesque surroundings and great views across the course and the surrounding country-side—don’t let the view fool you however, the rough can bite and it is easy to get up close and personal with those trees!
The golf course is of incredibly high quality for a small town course and is the envy of many out of town players who come down for a competition day or just for a weekend round.
For the technically minded the course statistics are as follows:
Men: White Tees, 5523 metres, Par 72, NZCR 68.5, Slope 115.
Women: Yellow Tees, 5131 metres, Par 72, NZCR 71.8, Slope 117.
The first nine is a par 35, while the slightly longer and more challenging back nine is a par 37.
The longest hole on the course is the 455m Par 5 17th on the back nine and with the 117m Par 3 Seventh rated the easiest there is something for everyone on our course.
A signature hole on the course is the hardest hole, the 410m Par 4 18th. Its wide and straight but deceptively challenging and a par has to be earnED.

EVENTS
We host our very own Waimate 3000 Golf Tournament annually in February with a capped entry of 120 players.
The event is an 18 hole Medal round round with ‘closest to the pin’ and ‘longest drive’ competitions in all grades.
When the golf is done and dusted, everyone meets in our well appointed clubrooms for refreshments and a rehash of their round before we start the prizegiving. The BBQ runs flat out all day and our fully stocked bar with alcolohic and non-alcoholic beverages ensures everyone can have an enjoyable time .
At present we also host several other annual golfing events, including ANZ-National Bank, PGG Wrightson, and Waimate Trades events to name a few.
