We offer a range of golf programmes designed to suit players of all ages, stages, and interests. Whether you're new to the game, returning after some time away, or looking to join a social or competitive group, there's something here for you!
Below, you'll find a snapshot of each of our Sector Playing Groups to help you find the one that best fits your goals, schedule, and style of play. We’re here to help you feel at home on the course—no matter where you’re starting from.
The Federated Farmers Group
We are a social group of men, playing 18 holes every Friday. We aim for a good standard - we play off the blue tees and most members who play with us have handicaps from +2 to 21, but anyone is welcome. Each week we pool the names of players so we play in different groups.
The entrance fee is $10 dollars each week, and of this $4 is held in a bank account attached to the Waikanae Golf Club to help with any course changes or requests to help fund a worthwhile golf project e.g. the gravel path from the 16th green to the 17th tee and, this year, the Youth Competition being started by our General Manager Chris Judd. The left-over money is given out as prizes depending on how many people are playing.
Our first tee time is 11.24am, but anyone wishing to join in should be there between 10.30 and 11.00 and advise the shop they are playing with the feds off the blue tees. Most of the group meets in the club house after they play for a drink and a bite. We would love to see you there and welcome you into our group.
THE CARDIE GROUP
We began as the Quinovic Group with Ross Davey in the early 90’s. It was renamed as the Cardie group after Brian Cardiff, one of our more colourful members, who passed in 2017.
Mostly we play off the white tees and we tee off around 12:00, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Anyone playing needs to be there by 11:30 for a 11:40 draw – for Saturday tee times need to be booked. Wednesday we are often joined by some from Fed Farmers. The finish time of 4 to 5pm ensures that friendship is as important as the golf; at least once we get into the 19th.
Entry cost is $10 + $1 for each weasel (a hole scoring no stableford). All money collected is paid out on the day. We pay for best stableford, 4-ball match results, birdies, and 2xclose-to-pins, so money is generally well spread. We also levy $2 each round which goes into a designated fund with WGC which is put toward worthy club causes, preferably on the course. This fund raises around $3,500 pa.
