Waikanae Golf Club

A sub-committee of the Golf Committee has been exploring ways in which to improve the design and layout of the 5th hole.  It would entail the shifting of the women’s tee to back over the stream where it had originally been and changing it back to a par 5. To compensate, the women’s tee on the 1st hole would be brought forward to in front of the white tee and it would revert to a par 4.  In this way the course rating would not be affected. By relaligning the 5th hole, we will be able to plant trees on either side of the fairway to give the hole better definition and an enhanced aesthetic appeal. Discussions with the women’s committee are ongoing and feedback is being sought before any final decisions are reached.
