What fairview golf & country club does

Fairview Golf & Country Club is a privately held, integrated lifestyle resort operating from a single 34 Sharp Road, Aongatete property in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. The business combines four revenue verticals: an 18-hole Par 71 championship golf course (5,786m from blue tees) sold via green fees and tiered annual memberships; country club amenities including a 20-metre heated indoor pool, spa, two astroturf tennis courts, a health studio, and member's bar/lounge; freehold residential property (The Greens subdivision) including sections ($365K–$449K) and architect-designed townhouses ($855K) with Country Club membership bundled into ownership; and the on-site Nineteen Café & Restaurant serving dine-in, events, weddings, corporate functions, and out-catering.

The company monetizes through a hybrid pricing model: usage-based green fees ($25–$70) and cart hire, subscription recurring golf memberships (Junior through Full 36+ tiers at $110–$1,320) and Country Club memberships ($766 Individual to $2,222 Corporate annually), one-time/perpetual real estate transactions, and transaction-based F&B revenue with a 10% member discount. GTM is direct-to-consumer primarily through the on-site property, supported by digital channels (website, social media), golf marketplaces (Golf.co.nz, Dot Golf with QR-code after-hours payments), and tournament/events programming including the 32nd annual Barfoot & Thompson Bay of Plenty 5 Course Classic.

Technology is non-proprietary, consisting of standard hospitality and golf management tooling — Dot Golf for booking/payments, GolfGenius for tournament registration, and Golf.co.nz marketplace listings. The company is led by General Manager Kat Gardner, who also handles property inquiries. No parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investors are disclosed, and no patents, AI capabilities, certifications, or public funding rounds are referenced in the source data.

Core offering

Fairview Golf & Country Club operates an 18-hole championship golf course (Par 71) with three tee positions, an integrated country club facility including a 20-metre heated pool, spa, tennis courts, and health studio, the Nineteen Café & Restaurant, and The Greens — a freehold residential property development within the Fairview Estate. The club sells golf memberships, country club memberships, green fees, cart hire, real estate sections and townhouses, and hosts functions, weddings, corporate events, and tournaments. Property ownership automatically includes Country Club membership, creating a unified golf, lifestyle, and residential offering in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand.

Product overview

Fairview Golf & Country Club is an integrated lifestyle resort offering a single unified product portfolio centered around an 18-hole championship golf course, resort-style country club facilities, and residential property ownership. The core offerings include the golf course (with green fee access and golf memberships), country club amenities (pool, spa, tennis, fitness, dining), and The Greens residential properties. All three components are interconnected: property owners receive automatic Country Club membership, while golf and country club memberships are sold separately to non-residents. Dining is provided through Nineteen Café & Restaurant, and the venue also hosts functions and tournaments. The property/housing segment operates as a sub-brand within the unified Fairview Estate brand.
