Wainui Golf Club

One of New Zealand's newest golf courses brings both a great challenge and great golfing option into the Auckland area

Since first breaking ground in 2013, much excitement has been focused on the development of Peninsula Golf Club's newest site in Wainui. Designed by Puddicombe & Assoc. (Lakes Resort Pauanui, Remuera, North Shore, Terrace Downs, Russley) this course is the latest to be constructed in New Zealand and plays at a very modern 7092 yards.

Placed on former farmland in an area about an hour's drive from Auckland, Wainui's architecture takes full advantage of the vast amount of ground dedicated to the project. This allowed for creativity in design, including additions like a man-made pond which bi-sects a double green between the 18th and the 9th.

With plans for tennis and fitness facilities and a 9 hole par-3 course, in addition the already built clubhouse, practice facility and driving range, Wainui GC should be on the list of places to visit while playing in Auckland.

Frank and the Best of NZ team were exceptional in their planning support and execution of our trip to NZ North Island. We gave them the parameters - dates and golf courses we wanted to play and the pacing we wanted for the trip in terms of days in each region - and they produced an absolutely amazing trip for us. All of the arrangements were flawlessly executed and we sailed through the trip effortlessly. their expert advice - how much driving vs. in country driving would be ideal for us to maximize our experience, the excursion to Cape Reinga which was amazing, having our dinner prepared the first night after a long day getting to Bay of Islands was perfect and the selection of accommodations in Hawke's Bay was brilliant.

We will never forget the spectacular views from Kauri Cliffs golf course, the jet boat rides in Taupo, cycling through the vineyards in Hawke's bay and ending up sipping chardonnay with lunch at Clearview winery, the splendor of playing golf among the birds and grounds at Wairakei, and ofcourse the spellbinding course at Cape Kidnappers. We could tell Best of NZ have strong relationships in NZ because the people we encountered in NZ as our guides/hosts reflected just that - professional and friendly. NZ was an amazing, epic experience for us and we could not have asked for better support and execution from Best of NZ/Frank and his team. We cant wait to go back, this time to the South Island!!!!

Thanks again Frank, YOU are the Best and the Best of NZ is truly the BEST!!

From all of us, thank you for a fabulous trip to New Zealand! We cannot begin to tell you how much we loved everything you put together for us! Every detail ran like clock work and each lodge was better than the last! A highlight was our daughter’s engagement at Cape Kidnappers where we were spoiled by the staff to a lovely wine cellar dinner! But add that to all the heli fishing and fine golf everywhere, we could not have had a more memorable, special trip! Many thanks for a great job on the part of you and your team.
