Welcome to the Waiouru Golf Club,
New Zealand’s highest 18-hole golf course currently on offer and home of the annual Mountain Classic tournament. The clubhouse and grounds are located in the Ruapehu District on the southern end of the Desert Road, State Highway 1, Waiouru. It has year round stunning views of Mt Ruapehu, Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Tongariro on fine weather days from various parts of the course.
As the current president, I welcome both new members and casual players who want to challenge themselves over two very distinct parts to the current course. As a fully volunteer club we rely on word of mouth from those that have played the course recently to ‘spread the word’ about the challenge that the course offers to players of all levels. Additionally we also rely on feedback to enable us to improve the course for all players, so any feedback (positive or negative) is appreciated to assist us in this way.
We have recently updated our scorecard as well as made improvements to the course, which are continually ongoing considering the challenges that nature puts in our path. This incorporated with our recently approved five-year plan should see the club and grounds continually improving for some time to come. For a sneak preview of the course at various stages of the year take a look at some of our images, as well as viewing the complete course layout graphically, for each hole.
Membership is always available and anyone keen on joining the current executive team or the club itself as a player is more that welcome. If you are interested in attending the Mountain Classic Tournament weekend, check out the details of past tournaments and the details for 2009.
Lastly, check out our Rouges Gallery of past members and photos of tournaments played in our archives section.
Enjoy your game and we look forward to you visiting the Waiouru Golf Cub.
Aaron Couchman
President
