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 11.16am, 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 11:30am for a 11:40am draw – for Saturday tee times need to be booked. Wednesday we are often joined by some from Fed Farmers. the finish time of 4pm 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.

Weekend Men

All male members and guests are warmly invited to join our Sunday Club Day competitions — a great way to enjoy some friendly golf, meet new people, and be part of the club community.

We encourage everyone to book online, as it really helps us organise the day smoothly. Some events (like the Shootout, Club Championships, or Golfer of the Year) include a random draw on Thursday afternoons — so make sure your name is on the list before then! If you can’t make it to the club in person, just give the pro shop a call and they’ll happily add your name for you.

There’s always something happening on Sundays, from shop competitions (with rules and prizes set by the shop) to mixed events run in conjunction with our women’s section, such as Opening Day, Closing Day, and more.

Come along, have some fun, and be part of the action!
