We loved hosting the National Track Managers' Conference at Tauranga Racecourse on Monday.

From the daytime sessions, where industry speakers and sponsor displays took centre stage, to the evening awards celebrating excellence across the sector, it was a privilege to welcome the dedicated individuals who put so much into their craft every day.

🌼 Supporting a great cause this weekend 🌼

Racing Tauranga is proud to support our valued sponsors EVES Real Estate Bay of Plenty in helping promote Memory Meadows, happening this Saturday.

This meaningful community initiative invites people to come along, plant a daffodil, and take a moment to remember someone impacted by cancer.

For a $5 donation, you can be part of something special — with all proceeds going directly to the Cancer Society.

📍 Maunganui Road reserve (between Zespri and the Mount Library)
📅 Saturday 18 April

It’s a simple but powerful way to reflect, remember, and give back.

If you’re in the area, take a moment to stop by and support this wonderful cause 💛

We’re proud to see our venue brought to life in a completely different way this Easter weekend.

A unique and creative use of the beautiful racecourse green space — and a great example of what’s possible right in the heart of Tauranga. ⛳

This Easter Weekend, Tauranga Racecourse will be transformed into a one of a kind pop up golf driving range.

Brought to you by the team that delivered Pins & Pours at the Bay Oval earlier this year, this exclusive event runs from April 3rd – 5th.

The Clubroom Tauranga is offering the community the rare opportunity to hit golf balls from within the iconic racecourse grounds. With 12 purpose-built range bays set up on the field, golfers can hit the ball distances of over 280 metres.

Join us for a fun, truly unique golfing experience this Easter.

What: Pop-up driving range
When: April 3rd - 5th, 10:00am - 6:30pm each day
Where: Tauranga Racecourse
