Marine Rescue Port Macquarie unit commander Greg Davies said it was a great sunny day on Sunday (April 11), perfect for golf.
Supporters put their golf skills into action before the fundraiser culminated with an auction.
Marine Rescue Port Macquarie member Christine Dixon has organised the golf day for the past seven years.
Money raised from the 2021 event will go towards flood repairs to the Marine Rescue Port Macquarie's boatshed at Westport.
"We really appreciated the opportunity to earn a bit of money to do the repairs," Mr Davies said.
Marine Rescue Port Macquarie lost winches, whitegoods and power tools when floodwater inundated the Westport boatshed's downstairs area.
Water-damaged cupboards need replacing too.
Mr Davies said they would reconfigure the downstairs area to improve functionality.
The Marine Rescue Port Macquarie golf day was supported by Port Macquarie Golf Club and KFC Port Macquarie.
Port Macquarie Golf Club president Bill MacDonald praised the "magnificent job" of Marine Rescue volunteers.
KFC Port Macquarie continued its support of the Marine Rescue golf day in 2021.
