There’s loads of choice for golfers in the Western Bay – whether you’re a knock-around casual player, or a low-handicap Michael Campbell wannabe. Overseas visitors will find fees as low as $15 cheap by international standards, and Kiwi golfers who are members of affiliate clubs get discounts. Local courses are usually uncrowded on weekdays, but can get busy at the weekends. Some clubs encourage visitors to simply ‘turn up,’ but ring in first to check.
