An 18-hole golf course in the village of Te Kauwhata, beside Te Kauwhata College, run by the Waikare Golf Club. The club was founded in 1928 and moved to its present site in 1930, and the first full 18-hole layout opened in 1958. The course is set over about 75 acres of flat to gently rolling land, with ponds, water hazards, bunkers and tree-lined fairways. The website describes the views as wide farm and rural country, with sculptures placed around the course as local art. The course is the northernmost in the Waikato, about two kilometres from State Highway 1, and under an hour's drive from both Auckland and Hamilton.
The course plays to par 70 from the blue tees and par 72 from the yellow tees. Carts are available to hire, and the club says the course is an easy walk for most players. After a round, the clubhouse serves refreshments. The club holds local tournaments and social events, and it draws golfers from Te Kauwhata, north Waikato and Auckland. The website gives no green fees, booking details, opening hours or dress rules, and quotes no customer comments, so there is no view here on what golfers say.
