Waitemata Golf Club

One of the great things about Devonport is that everything is walking distance from the ferry –including the 18-hole Waitemata Golf Club. The course is flat, allowing easy walking through beautiful park-like surroundings, with well-established trees, shrubs and water features. Non-playing members of the public may walk through the course, so the club asks, “ please share with care ” . The course was originally nine holes within a horse-racing track. Motorbike racing, horse racing, greyhound and professional foot racing shared Alison Park until 1934.

It was given the prestigious award for growth in community engagement and youth development among other factors. Young golfers are made very welcome at the club with lessons, rental clubs and play area. Club pro Brad Shilton has been a successful PGA tour professional for 13 years and was a member of Australasian and One Asia Tours, competing in events throughout the Asia-Pacific region and earning full NZPGA member status in 2012.
