Golf Course Photos & Flyovers

A par 71 course that features four par 5's that may seem to be reachable in two. 
Tree lined fairways and some subtle dog legs and valleys around landing distance off the tee gives the course many hidden hazards. Play through taken 2014.


Excellent natural draining makes the course playable in all but the very worst conditions.


Hole # 1

(Mens Par 5, Ladies Par 5, #15 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Mitre 10,
|25 Bowen Street, Waiuku, (09) 235-9072
(Men 404m Ladies 392m)

Trees line the fairway on the left and right.  Two long shots and an accurate approach shot are required to make par.


Hole # 2

(Par 4, #5 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Bonded Insurance Ltd,
(09) 524 2100 , www.bonded.co.nz 
(Men 358m, Ladies 282m)

A raised sloping green with a narrow entrance bunkered on both sides means the golfer has to decide whether to risk a second shot at the green or play short.


Hole # 3

(Par 5, #7 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Campbell Tyson
Ph: (09) 238 9219 www.ct.co.nz
(Men 440m Ladies 424m) 

Large trees close to Tee give a funnel effect making an accurate Tee shot vital. Large gully 135m from green causes difficulty to shorter hitters.


Hole # 4 

(Par 3, #11 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Kerry Jones Engineering
(09) 235 7310 www.kje.co.nz 
(Men 170m Ladies 133m)

The largest undulating and sloping green make Tee accuracy to pin vital or else golfers are left with a difficult putt to make par.

(Men 330m Ladies 278m)

Tee shot placement vital as large trees protect left and right side of fairway. Gully through fairway at 100m also adds to difficulty.


Hole # 6

(Par 4, #9 index hole)
Hole Sponsor:

(Men & Ladies 277m)

Out of bounds on left hand side and large trees on right mean accurate Tee shot is required. Two tier green makes location of pin important for second shot.


Hole # 7

(Par 3, #17 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: New World Waiuku
49 Bowen Street, Waiuku (open 7am - 9pm)
Website: www.newworld.co.nz
(Men & Ladies 142m)

Out of bounds on left hand side and large trees on right mean accurate Tee shot is required. Two tier green makes location of pin important for second shot. Lake in front of the tee will only catch a poor drive.


Hole # 8

(Par 4, #13 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Pukekohe Toyota
(09) 887 1866 www.toyota.co.nz
(Men & Ladies 296m)

Of all the holes on the course this one rewards a centre of fairway shot best. Trees hug both sides of fairway and the contour of the fairway easily come into play. A lake short and right of the green can capture a long but slightly off centre drive.


Hole # 9

(Par 4, #1 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: DESiGNMAX 
29 Kitchener Rd, Waiuku, 
(09) 235 9313 www.designmax.co.nz
(Men 410m Ladies 396m)

Tee shot needs to be centre-right or trees on left cause trouble on second shot. Combined green with 7th and bunker on left hand side make for an interesting third shot. A demanding hole that challenges even the longer hitters.


Hole # 10

(Par 3, #16 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Aurora Law
92 Queen St, Waiuku
Ph. 09 235 8179 www.auroralaw.co.nz

(Mens 114m Ladies 114m)

A short hole that is made daunting by having the road on the left-hand side.


Hole # 11

(Par 5)

Hole Sponsor Ladies Tee: Queenie Blooms

(Mens 462m Ladies 448m)

Trees down the right can maki it difficult to navigate if straying too far right. Bunkers 20 mtrs out from the green make approach shots deceptive with a hedge behind the green for shots too long


Hole # 12 

(Par 3, #18 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: RL Denton
(09) 535 2556 

(Men & Ladies 133m)

Green is surrounded left and right by mounds and also has large trees to left and right of fairway. Not as easy as it sounds.

 


Hole # 13

(Par 4 Men, Par 5 Ladies, #2 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Waiuku Lodge Motel
279 Kitchener Road, Waiuku,
(0800) 563 439 www.waiukulodgemotel.co.nz

(Men & Ladies 380m)

It is essential that Tee shot is centre-right of fairway as a large gully on left hand side will block out second shot to the green. Uphill second shot calls for thoughtful club selection.


Hole # 14

('Cloutmans Corner' Par 4 Men, Par 3 Ladies, #14 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: On Par
(0800) 22 44 32 www.onpar.co.nz

(Men 231m Ladies 168m)

This short Par 4 bounded on the right hand side by hazard (the Manukau Harbour!) rewards well placed tee shot for both men and ladies. Fairway slopes down to the hazard.


Hole # 15

(Par 5, #6 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Waiuku Cosmopolitan Club
4 Victoria Ave, Waiuku

(Men 428m Ladies 410m)

A sloping fairway to right and hazard bound full length of this hole. It is important to keep first and second shots on mown fairway. There is a dog leg right over the last 150m of the hole. The green is bunkered on right side.


Hole # 16

(Par 3 Men, Par 4 Ladies, #12 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Kennards
198 Manukau Road, Pukekohe
(09) 238 8094, www.kennardshire.co.nz

(Men 140m ladies 236m)

This green bunkered on both sides and with mound in front. Out of bounds on right side. Club selection very important depending on wind direction.


Hole # 17

(Par 4, #4 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: Knight & Dickey
108 Collingwood Road, Waiuku
(09) 235 9189  www.knightanddickey.com

(Men 355m Ladies 325m)

Long Par 4 with wide fairway. Made difficult by sloping green in front which makes shot onto green a precision one.


Hole #18

(Par 4, #8 index hole)
Hole Sponsor: SNC Steel
64b Boundary Road, Papakura
021 837 199 www.sncsteel.nz

(Men 320m Ladies 290m)

This hole has trees both left and right which catch many errant tee shots. Sloping green which causes problems if second shot is too big. Worst case you'll be buying someone on the clubhouse balcony another drink!
