About Us
About the Club
The Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Auckland Golf Club is located on an operational military airbase, which gives the club some unique qualities. One of these is that we can't accept drive-up green fee players. Play is only open to current members of the club and their escorted guests.
From time to time the club holds open competitions, where public golfers can enter the competition for the day.
As a club affiliated with Golf NZ and North Golf, we have teams competing in local pennant competitions, and we take part in veteran golf days with Waitakere and Redwood Park golf clubs.
The club is volunteer-led and volunteer-run. Members are required to help with running the club and will be asked to do so from time to time. This includes tasks such as maintenance, sharing bar duties and helping at club events and functions.
Along with the usual 18 holes, the front 9 or the back 9, players can also play a combination 9 – holes 1–7, 17 and 18 – which lets them finish at the clubhouse.
Tuesdays are Ladies Club Day and Twilight competitions. Wednesday is Men's Club Day.
Club History
Construction of the RNZAF golf course started in 1965. It opened in 1967 as a 12-hole course, with 6 holes played twice to complete 18 holes. Over the following years more holes were built, bringing the number up to 15 and then to 18.
Defence changes created challenges along the way. More recently, the installation of the Instrument Landing System cost us an excellent par 4 and meant fitting the 5th hole into the remaining land.
Extended fencing around the Bomb Dump meant relocating the 3rd hole to its present position. The course has been built by volunteer labour, and some of the originals from 1965 are still members.
