Home to Racing Tauranga, the Tauranga Racecourse stages 10 meetings each season.
The Course is considered as one of the finest provincial racing venues in New Zealand.
Following an extensive refurbishment at Tauranga Racecourse, the venue offers a range of lounge facilities in the two grandstands from where patrons can enjoy the action on the track in quality, comfortable surroundings.
In 2006, there was a major $400,000 renovation of the main track, including extensive drainage work.
