 Public access golf course |
46a Linwood Avenue Western Springs Auckland 1002 New Zealand +64 (0) 9 846 6758 |
Conveniently located five minutes drive from central Auckland, Chamberlain Park, being a public golf course, is the place to be in the swing. The grounds themselves are beautiful with finely manicured greens set amongst native trees. All amenities are available from trundler and shoe hire to motorized carts, leading pro-shop and qualified teachers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A challenge in the country |
State Highway 2 Maramarua Auckland New Zealand +64 (0)9 232 5702 |
Barely 45 minutes south of Auckland City sits this sometimes challenging country golf course. With a few steep hills and many strategically positioned trees, this is truly a course for the straight hitter. But, then again, a good slice is useful from the tee on the par four 16th. A couple of nasty lakes are probably full of balls, as are the paddocks directly across State Highway 2. A small pro shop sells balls, tees, clubs, and other accessories. Bookings are recommended on the weekends because of club days and competitions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fine public golf course |
Northcote Road Takapuna Auckland 1309 New Zealand +64 (0)9 443 5002 |
This public golf course is located only ten minutes north of the Harbour Bridge. The wide fairways and lack of water hazards invite many to pull out their drivers, but the trees, bunkers and landscaping around the greens require some fancy iron play. There is also a practice green and a driving range. Sets of clubs and motorised carts are available for hire. The large pro-shop is always well stocked and often has good specials. Bookings are advisable, but not compulsory. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Kauri Park Falls Road Waitakere Auckland New Zealand +64 (0)9 810 9399 |
The ninth hole on this course is called "Everest", so it should come as no surprise that the hills, along with the serenity, make this a memorable place to play. It is nestled in the Waitakere Ranges, and the road to the Cascades Waterfalls runs through four of the holes. The course incorporates some of the surrounding bush and streams. You will need spare balls though—some people come here just to look for lost balls in the bush, and have left with a bag full. The course is 40 minutes from central Auckland. Review © 2007, Wcities |
