Ten minutes drive south-west of Hastings will bring you to
one of the surprises of Hawkes Bay.
The youngest of the four major golf courses in the Bay, the Hawkes Bay Golf Club, formerly the Flaxmere Golf Club, still has
room to accommodate new members. The course, built on 142 acres of pumice land at the end of Valentine Road, 10km
from Hastings town centre, was designed by Commander John Harris.
