About the Club

 The Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Auckland Golf club is located on an operational Military airbase. As such there are some unique attributes and qualities of the club. One of the attributes is that we are not able to accept any drive-up green fee players. Play is only allowed for current members of the club and their escorted guests.

From time to time the club does hold open competitions where public golfers are able to 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 participation in veteran golf days with Waitakere and Redwood Park golf clubs.

The Club is volunteer-led and volunteer-run. Members are required to assist in the running of the club and will be asked to do so from time to time. This includes tasks such as maintenance, as well as sharing bar duties and helping at club events and functions.

Along with playing the usual 18 holes, the front 9 or the back 9, players are also able to play a combination 9 which includes holes 1-7, 17 & 18 which allows them to finish at the club house.

Tuesday’s 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 being played twice to complete 18 holes.
Over the ensuing years additional holes were constructed to bring the number up to 15 and then to 18.

Defence changes created problems along the way with more recent changes being the implementation of the Instrument Landing System that caused the loss of an excellent Par4 and meant fitting the 5th hole into the remaining land available.

Extended fencing around the Bomb Dump meant the relocating of the 3^rd hole to its present position. The course has been constructed by volunteer labour and some of the originals from the 1965 are still members.
