Tirau Golf Club
Waikato
Located just outside the charming Waikato township of Tirau, this golf club perfectly captures the relaxed countryside feel of New Zealand’s heartland. The course itself is set on gently rolling farmland, surrounded by rural views and just minutes from Tirau’s famous corrugated-iron attractions and boutique shops. It’s a friendly, down-to-earth place to play, offering a peaceful round in a beautiful part of the country.
The course layout is straightforward but enjoyable, with tree-lined fairways, subtle elevation changes, and a good mix of hole lengths to test your accuracy and club selection. The greens roll well and the fairways are kept in solid condition year-round, providing consistent playability whether you’re stopping by for a casual hit or a club competition. It’s the sort of course that rewards smart golf rather than power, with room for all levels of players to enjoy themselves.
Off the course, the clubhouse is open daily and has a welcoming feel, offering drinks, light snacks, and friendly service from staff who are always happy to help. The town of Tirau itself is full of great cafés and restaurants, making it an ideal spot to combine a round of golf with a relaxed day out. It’s an easy-going and affordable stop that delivers excellent value and a classic Kiwi country golf experience.

Condition
Tirau Golf Club is maintained to a high standard, with greens running smooth and true and fairways cut to a consistent, playable length. While winter can bring wetter conditions, the course generally stays in good shape year-round, providing a reliable and enjoyable round no matter the season.
Challenge
The course may be on the shorter side, but the layout is cleverly designed. Well-placed trees, a few doglegs, and some blind shots keep every hole interesting, making it a fun test for golfers of all abilities. The manageable length ensures that both beginners and experienced players can enjoy a round without feeling overwhelmed.
Facilities
For a country course, Tirau Golf Club is very well set up. The clubhouse is open daily, and there’s always someone on hand to assist. Carts are available for hire, and light refreshments are served to round off your day. With a fun 18-hole layout and a putting green, it’s a welcoming and enjoyable place to play.
Value for Money
At $35, Tirau Golf Club offers excellent value. It’s a fun and well-kept course, conveniently located just off State Highway 1, making it a perfect stop for a quick 9 or 18 holes. With the clubhouse providing a spot for a drink or light refreshment afterward, it’s a great all-around country golf experience for the price.
