Golf Holiday in the Eastern Bay of Plenty

The Eastern Bay of Plenty is a spectacular destination for world-class golf courses, exciting fishing, and adventure tours.

While other clubs around the country suffer from wet feet during the winter months, Whakatāne’s sun-filled golf courses offer crisp, dry greens year-round, coupled with spectacular scenery. 

One of New Zealand’s most scenic golf courses, uniquely situated between Pacific Ocean on one side and the beautiful, unspoilt Ohiwa Harbour. 

Five minutes from Whakatāne, this championship course offers a great golf experience and is one of the finest golf courses in the Bay of Plenty.

From luxury serviced apartments and motels to intrepid camping grounds and backpackers to five-star glamping...

Whakatāne, Ōhope and Ōpōtiki take in over 200km of New Zealand’s coastline, from the lonely sands of the Matata straights through to the rugged rocks of the East Coast. If you are looking for a slice of real New Zealand, you'll find it here.

Whakatāne is the largest town in the Eastern Bay of Plenty and is only one hours drive from Rotorua and Tauranga and four hours from Auckland.

Our wonderful selection of 18-hole golf courses, set in New Zealand's beautiful countryside, offer some of the most scenic and enjoyable golf you will ever experience.

With courses located within easy reach of urban centres and a wide range of other activities available, this is a destination for the whole family.

The culture on New Zealand's golf courses is as relaxed as New Zealanders themselves are. You will never find yourself hurrying through the course, and if you have to wait to play the next hole you can always just soak in the view.

To top this all off the Eastern Bay of Plenty's golf courses are among the most affordable in New Zealand.
