Pō​​​​​​​rangahau Country Club

A community hub which fosters connection through sport, creativity and social interaction. 

Nau mai, haere mai

Welcome to the Pōrangahau Country Club, the heart of Pōrangahau!

The Pōrangahau Country Club is a unique multi sport and art facility that offers not only a challenging 9 hole golf course but is home to the Tennis, Bowling, Arts and Fishing Clubs. The Club house itself is a beautiful large space easily adaptable to a variety of occasions from Weddings to Christmas functions.

Our vision: A community hub which fosters connection through sport, creativity and social interaction. The purpose of our club is to create a space for the isolated rural community of Pōrangahau to come together. A space where the whole community is welcome to engage, participate and actively contribute in sport, art and social interaction. Situated on the East Coast of Central Hawkes Bay about 30min from Waipukurau, the Club host’s a variety of sports and art facilities in the stunning coastal backdrop of Pōrangahau/Te Paerahi Beach.

The Pōrangahau Country Club was founded in 1927 and was originally just a Golf Club, fast forward to 1974 and the large open plan Club House was built after a massive community fundraising effort. In 2009 the community came together once again and a new Astroturf facility was built adding a Tennis and Netball venue for the community to use. Then in 2017 another huge fundraising effort saw the Bowling green revitalised with a new turf surface adding yet another attraction and community opportunities to the growing sports facility!

The original concept of a multisport facility at the time was revolutionary and far-sighted but the club as it stands today is a tribute to a supportive enthusiastic community and local businesses who made it happen. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Junior Golfing Programme

Our junior golfers are something we are incredibly proud of. From first swings as beginners through to representing their region, our young players are guided and supported every step of the way.


Through encouragement, skill development, and plenty of fun along the journey, they continue to grow not only as golfers but as confident young people.


A special thank you to Marilyn and Allen Forrest for their dedication, passion, and ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent at our club.

Christmas Cheer Golf Tournament

November 21st-23rd 2025

Our biggest Fundraisier  for the Country Club has been and gone...Three days of golf across Friday and Saturday, finishing on Sunday with our juniors, made for an unforgettable Christmas Cheer Weekend.

The golf was outstanding, the food was a hit, and while the weather tested us at times, Sunday delivered a beautiful day for the kids a perfect way to wrap up the weekend.

Christmas Cheer is no small undertaking. Months of planning, organising, fixing, and the occasional crossed fingers go into bringing it all together, and once again it paid off. We are incredibly proud to host what many consider the biggest amateur golf tournament in the country and this year truly lived up to that reputation.

None of it would be possible without the continued support of our incredible sponsors and supporters. Year after year, their backing makes this event what it is. The prize table was nothing short of impressive and certainly brought out everyone’s competitive side.

At the heart of it all, Christmas Cheer isn’t just about golf or prizes. It’s about the people, the laughter, the stories shared, the juniors on Sunday, the volunteers who give their time, and the sponsors who continue to believe in our small but passionate community.

That’s the magic of Christmas Cheer, and it’s why we’ll keep coming back, striving to do it even better, and doing it all again next year.
