About Te Puke Golf Club

Te Puke Golf Club's present course is an 18-hole, par-72 parkland layout at Paengaroa in the Bay of Plenty. Golf has been organised in Te Puke since 1921, but the club purchased its current former dairy-farm property in 1978 and first played golf there in 1979. New Zealand course architect Harry Dale designed the layout, and the club states that his original design has largely been maintained.

The blue championship tees measure 6,130 metres, with a men's course rating of 72.4 and slope of 124. White, yellow and forward orange tees provide shorter alternatives. The course now has mature trees planted largely at the time the club moved to the property.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,130m (6,704 yards), course rating 72.4 and slope rating 124. Designed by Harry Dale, the course originally opened in 1979. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Practice Facilities.

Origins

Te Puke has had an organised golf club since 1921 and used several different sites during its early decades. Because its previous site was leased Māori land, the club decided that ownership of its own property would provide greater long-term security. It purchased the former Steel farm in 1978 and golf was first played on the present course in 1979.

Did You Know?
The club says all but one of the mature trees on the present property were planted when it moved there around 1978-79.

Design Philosophy

Harry Dale prepared the original course design, and the club says his concept has remained substantially intact. The former dairy-farm site was planted extensively with trees when the course was developed.

Development

More recent course changes have been undertaken with input from Denis Clark, who prepared a 20-year development plan for the property.

Today

The current course is an 18-hole, par-72 parkland layout with four principal tee options and visitor play available.
