Omokoroa Course
Omokoroa Golf Club
About this course
Omokoroa Golf Club sits on the Omokoroa Peninsula in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island, approximately twenty kilometers north of Tauranga. Designed by Harry Dale, the course occupies elevated terrain with views across Tauranga Harbour and the surrounding coastal landscape. The peninsula setting provides a distinctive backdrop for golf in this part of the Bay of Plenty, where the temperate climate supports year-round play. The layout takes advantage of the natural topography, with fairways that move across rolling ground and incorporate the peninsula's contours into the strategic design. Coastal winds can influence play, particularly on holes with greater exposure to the harbor. The course serves both local members and visiting golfers exploring the Bay of Plenty region, functioning as a community facility in the growing Omokoroa area. As a regional New Zealand course, Omokoroa reflects the country's tradition of accessible golf clubs that balance playability for members of varying abilities with enough character to maintain interest. The club operates in a part of New Zealand known for its horticultural industry and coastal recreation, contributing to the area's sporting and social infrastructure. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in a setting shaped by its proximity to water and the natural features of the peninsula landscape.

Getting there
The gateway to Omokoroa Golf Club is Tauranga Airport, a compact regional hub roughly twenty minutes north by road, though most international visitors route through Auckland Airport - a comfortable two-and-a-half-hour drive northwest along State Highway 2. The journey south traces the edge of the Kaimai Range before descending into the lush, orchard-studded lowlands of the Bay of Plenty, then crossing the harbor causeway onto the Omokoroa Peninsula itself. The final approach is unhurried and intimate, winding through quiet residential streets until the land opens to reveal the club perched above the glittering waters of Tauranga Harbour - a serene, salt-kissed arrival at one of New Zealand's most beautifully sited coastal courses.
