The Waimarino Golf Club is on the road between Ohakune and Raetihi, under the shadow of Mount Ruapehu.
We took the kids away in the school holidays with another family and went skiing. After 2 days on the mountain we took the opportunity to slip off for 9 holes at Waimarino (it took a while to track this course down online before we left as I assumed it would be called Ohakune or Raetihi). I guess there's a question whether this actually counts to my challenge? I only played half the course. Worst case is I'll need to head back and play it again at some stage (and maybe I'll play better than the scorecard below).
For this round we took the boys out and gave them a taste of country golf. The Waimarino course is a typical NZ country course, built on rolling farmland and with plenty of trees. Of course, the sight of Mount Ruapehu in the background is a little different and quite spectacular.
Unfortunately the photos don't show the mountain in the background - the glare off the snow must have had something to do with it?
My Scorecard:
Not a spectacular 9 holes - a 7 and 8 really hurt! I'm really struggling on the par 5s at the moment...
