Pukekohe Golf Club

Pukekohe Golf Club feels like unlocking a historic piece of South Auckland’s sporting heritage. Established in 1912, this par-71 championship parkland layout treats you to an immersive journey through a century of growth, framed perfectly by the iconic, towering Kohekohe trees. Rolling fairways give way to a masterfully designed landscape featuring three vibrant lakes complete with bubbling fountains, ensuring that every drive and approach feels like a walk through a manicured botanical escape.

The ultimate trial of your strategy arrives at the 4th hole, nicknamed “David”—a legendary fixture widely regarded as one of the best and most challenging golf holes in New Zealand. Navigating its tricky lines makes tapping your final putt into the big, immaculate greens incredibly rewarding. Best of all, tackling this premier venue is exceptionally accessible, with standard 18-hole green fees sitting at just NZ$85.

Once you wrap up your game, the welcoming energy continues on the outdoor deck of the Parklands Café, Bar & Eatery, where you can watch the sunset over the water features with a stone-baked pizza. For the ultimate golf getaway, you can book a luxury stay nearby at Franklin’s Own Stay n Play, a spacious apartment featuring its own private golf simulator, pool table, and poker station. It provides the perfect modern hub to keep the competitive spirit alive long after leaving the fairways.
