The host of 12 New Zealand Opens, Paraparaumu Beach Golf Course has long been regarded by many as the spiritual home of New Zealand Golf.
Some of the biggest names in the sport have graced these fairways, from Gary Player and five-time Open Championship winner Peter Thompson through to Corey Pavin, Michael Campbell and in 2002 the worlds number 1 golfer, Tiger Woods.
Designed in 1949 by Alex Russell, whose design credits include the world-famous Royal Melbourne golf course, Paraparaumu Beach is a regular inside the World Top 100 Golf Course lists and is considered one of the best links courses in the Southern Hemisphere. Modeled on some of the best links courses of Britain and Ireland, the challenging layout threads its way through magnificent linksland just north of Wellington, and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand just why golf played at Paraparaumu Beach Golf Course is golf at its purest.
The warm welcome, the friendly atmosphere and the fantastic golf course means that Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club hosts a lot of wonderful corporate golf days. We can use our experience in running the events to provide an action packed, value for money day for our corporate clients, or we can help tailor the experience to meet your particular needs.
We are justifiably proud of our well-stocked bar where you can celebrate the successful round or, perhaps, drown your golfing sorrows. With most popular brands of beer available, a wide range of spirits and soft drinks, you are bound to find the drink that hits the spot. In the evening, a 'sundowner" on the verandah over looking the eighteenth green, with spectacular views over the course, is a favorite with the members.
The Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club is a great venue for your wedding celebration or special function. The recently refurbished main lounge has a seating capacity for up to 130 people comfortably with a balcony extending across its frontage opening on to attractive views of the golf course. In house catering provides an excellent and affordable series of menu options to suit a variety of budgets and tastes.
