Remuera Golf Club

What Remuera Golf Club does

Remuera Golf Club is a member-owned, non-profit golf club established in 1934 in Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand. It operates an 18-hole Par 72 championship course with a 9-hole option, set within a 72-hectare woodland park reserve 15 minutes from Auckland's CBD. The club's facility stack includes a floodlit two-storey 16-bay climate-controlled driving range equipped with Toptracer ball-tracking technology (branded as the Velocity Range), a 15-bay open Toptracer range, a fleet of approximately 25 golf carts, club hire, PGA professional coaching (7 coaches with 100+ years combined experience), a fully equipped pro shop with complimentary club fitting, and an onsite hospitality operation (Winstone's Café Bistro & Bar plus the Tui Lounge function space).

Revenue is generated across eight streams: membership subscriptions (18-hole, 9-hole, intermediate by age tier, junior, social), green fees (visitors and member-guests, tiered by age and round length), driving range and Twilight Golf bookings, equipment hire (carts, clubs, trundlers), coaching clinics and playing lessons, pro shop retail, food and beverage, and venue/event hire. Membership pricing for the 2025/2026 season includes an NZD $3,990 annual subscription plus NZD $6,000 joining fee for full 18-hole membership, intermediate tiers from NZD $1,360 (ages 19-24) to NZD $3,045 (ages 30-40), junior at NZD $660, and social at NZD $50. Adult visitor green fees are NZD $160 for 18 holes. Coaching clinics are NZD $55 per session and playing lessons NZD $75.

The club is one of the first and one of only a handful in New Zealand to be fully Geo-Certified for environmental sustainability and serves as the headquarters location for New Zealand Golf, Auckland Golf, and the NZ PGA. It participates in reciprocal club networks Links2Golf (850+ clubs worldwide) and Pacific Links (700+ clubs across 34 countries), with named reciprocal arrangements extending across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, South Africa, and Northern Ireland. Distribution is overwhelmingly direct-to-consumer via the on-site venue, club website, Dot Golf-powered online tee booking, Facebook, and direct membership/event sales, supported by named corporate clients (Fraser Thomas, Marist Rugby) and sponsors including Oceania Healthcare's The Helier and Forsyth Barr. The club operates as a traditional member-owned entity with a Board governance structure and CEO Dene McKay.
