9H Event
Twilight Golf

Every Tuesday 3pm – 6pm (Starting Tues Oct 4th 2022)

$7 Members of any club, $10 non members, Juniors $2 and Carts $10 per 9 holes

As the clocks go forward and the longer evenings saunter in, it’s time to dust off the clubs and come and play twilight.

This is the epitome of social evening fun golf played over 9 holes where everybody is welcome.

If you don’t have time to play 18 holes, a beginner with or without a handicap or just fancy 9 holes on a balmy summer’s evening, then twilight is for you.

This is a weekly family event where Mum’s and Dad’s bring the kids as every ability and level are catered for. Most of our low handicap golfers cut their teeth at twilight so you may have the next budding Lydia Ko just waiting to swing a club.

If you’re new to golf, don’t worry about handicaps and scoring etc as our twilight convenor, Mr Shane Brandso (aka Splinta), will have it all in hand. There are divisions for affiliated and non affiliated golfers. Non affiliated will be given a starting unofficial handicap which will be adjusted each week depending on your performance. Nobody really knows how this works and nobody really cares…it just does.

After the golf, relax with a cold one, regale the clubhouse with what could have been, have a quick bite to eat with our full catering menu and get ready for prize giving, which is generally an event in itself.

If you’re really lucky, you may clean up on Splinta’s infamous Ham raffles. Get that Christmas ham tucked away, negating the need for the Christmas food shop and therefore leaving more time to play golf. Please note, these raffles are not gluten free or vegan friendly.

The Pines Golf Club
Visitors to The Pines often describe it as a picturesque course with stunning views of the harbour and of Whangarei Heads from many tee, fairway and hole locations as well as from the Clubhouse.
 
Visitors are welcome to join the members in their Tuesday and Friday 'haggles' starting at midday. There is an active ladies membership. Nine hole and summer membership is available. There is currently a special membership offer available to those who are new, or returning to golf.
 
Full details from the manager, Ben Atherton,  09 436 2246 

The Pines is an eighteen hole course with a par of 71 and a 'slope rating' of 121 (medium degree of difficulty). It is not a long course, measuring 5368 metres off the men's blue tees. It does however present players of all abilities with many interesting hole locations and challenges with its meandering stream, tidal ponds, seaside mangroves and tree-studded fairways. 

 

The front nine is set back from Parua Bay and includes the more undulating holes. The back nine is played on the flatter part of the course and at times you really are "at the water's edge", with the sea marking the boundary to the course.

 

Driving range situated between the 10th and 17th fairways.
Licensed bar open daily.
Club and cart hire both available.
