Porangahau Country Club

Porangahau Country Club is a 9-hole golf course located on the East Coast of Central Hawkes Bay, approximately 30 minutes from Waipukurau, set against the stunning coastal backdrop of Porangahau/Te Paerahi Beach. Founded in 1927, the course operates as part of a multi-sport facility that also encompasses tennis, bowling, arts, and fishing clubs within a shared clubhouse.

The golf course presents a challenging layout characteristic of community-based clubs in New Zealand's regional areas. The facility benefits from its coastal setting, offering distinctive terrain and landscape views typical of the East Coast region. The clubhouse, constructed in 1974 through community fundraising efforts, provides a large open-plan space that accommodates both golf members and visitors.

The club's development reflects a pioneering approach to multi-sport facility design. Over its history, the grounds have been progressively enhanced, including the addition of tennis and netball facilities in 2009 and a revitalized bowling green with new turf in 2017. The club maintains an active schedule of competitions and social events throughout the year, supporting both competitive and recreational golfers within the local community.
