Joining Akarana
The Club welcomes applications for the many different categories we currently offer. Our popularity is due to the central location of the Course, Club facilities, the Course itself and most importantly, the friendly and social atmosphere.
New members are considered based on their ability to add to the spirit and social texture of the Club as well as their previous golfing experience. Akarana prides itself on its contribution to the community and in particular our pro-active approach to Junior golf. Most junior members are accepted straight into the Club if they have some golf experience or have embarked on a series of lessons.
When applying for membership we ask that you complete an application form outlineing your previous golfing experience, previous Clubs and occupation. This forms a major part of the criteria for choosing new members. You will also be asked for proof of New Zealand Citizenship or NZ Permanent Residence and for recommendations from existing members of Akarana Golf Club Inc. You can download a pdf version of the application form by clicking here.
Once completed you need to bring this form to the Club and lodge it with the Administration Office. Applications to include the joining fee please.
