Omaha Golf Club – Ongoing Improvements
Omaha Golf Club is continually working to enhance our facilities for members, visitors, and the wider community. Recent upgrades have focused on the practice areas and course development, with more improvements planned around the clubhouse and surrounding areas.
Below, we’ve outlined current projects so you’re aware of any changes happening both on and off the course. All developments are carefully planned by the committee with the long-term vision and sustainability of the club in mind.
If you have suggestions for future improvements, we welcome your input. Please email them to gm@omahagolf.co.nz for committee review.
Celebrating 50 Years – The last step in the Pitman Plan journey Nov 11th 2025
Hello Members,
As we celebrate our 50th Jubilee, there’s no better time to reflect on how far we’ve come — and to look forward to what’s ahead for Omaha Beach Golf Club. The club has grown faster than ever in recent years, and together we’ve built something truly special. Now, as we mark half a century of golf at Omaha, we’re ready to complete one last step in the re-building of the Northern 9: the creation of a new par 5 – Hole 3.
Our Journey So Far
Every improvement we’ve made exists because members like you said, ‘I’ll help make it happen.’ And this step nears our collective legacy — a project built not by a committee, but by our community.
Back in 2001, the course was expanded to 18 holes with the addition of the Southern Quarry 9, constructed in conjunction with the residential development at that end of Omaha Beach. On the northern side, the first changes to the original 9-hole layout were the rebuilt 13th and 14th. Just a few years later, the Pitman Plan was adopted by the members as the blueprint for the Northern 9 — a long-term vision for the original 9 holes.
Pitman Plan
The first project following approval of the Pitman Plan began in 2011, when the new 1st green was completed off the back of a private fundraising effort. This led to the incorporation of the Friends of Omaha Beach Golf Club (Inc) and its registration as a Charitable Trust, so that donations to course development and improvements could be tax-deductible.
From there, fundraising enabled construction of the 2nd hole (par 3), and the lake extension, new green and surrounds for the 16th.
In 2021 the Club and Friends launched Vision 2022, an ambitious project to achieve the new 15th, 17th and 18th holes,

The Vision Project saw members donate more than $750,000. Their incredible generosity transformed our course.
It’s a remarkable legacy — a small volunteer-run club that has evolved into a nationally recognised 18-hole course admired for its quality, setting, and now this past week the host club for the Freyberg Masters-a New Zealand national title.
