A full annual membership is $1150 at Omaha Beach Golf Club.
The first of three greens being redeveloped at Omaha Beach Golf Club was opened last month.
The 15th hole was designed by golf architect Kristine Kerr of Kura Design and includes a new “water hazard” and a wooden boardwalk.
The 17th green is next to be redeveloped, with construction beginning soon and completion expected around September. The 18th is hoped to be redeveloped by next summer.
The majority of the project has been paid for through fundraising efforts by Friends of Omaha Beach Golf Club, which has raised $500,000 of the $700,000 that is needed.
Club spokeswoman Tiffany Hubbard says the redevelopments are part of efforts to continue to draw national level events to Omaha.
She says Omaha Beach Golf Club has been ranked number 23 in the country by NZ Golf Magazine and the club aims to climb higher up the rankings.
“Out of the several hundred clubs in New Zealand, it’s great for a community club to be ranked so highly,” Hubbard says.
Its annual Omaha Scramble tournament event in October has twice sold-out after being expanded due to popularity.
Hubbard says the club hopes to host more events over summer with food trucks.
Meanwhile, she says the new 15th green has proved challenging and members have been regularly returning to “figure it out”.
