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.

Can’t believe we’re on our final day - this was the trip to end all trips... Thanks as always for the help!

We had a spectacular time on our trip after leaving Port Douglas and all the arrangements that you made for us came off without a hitch. All flights and transportation that you arranged were on time and we were well taken care of at all the places we went to.
The Boatshed was incredible. We met Johnathan and had a small dinner with him on our second night. We were the only guests at the hotel and he and his staff just made us feel right at home. Jack and Jen, Johnathan’s staff, took us out to a couple of wineries and we had lunch together. When we got back Johnathan treated us to dinner prepared by his own self. Fantastic.
Next up was Napier/Hastings and the Craggy Range cottage. Excellent choice for us. We were close enough to Havelock North to be able to easily drive into the town and wander around. We went and played Cape Kidnapers as well. The course was wet so no carts were allowed out. Craggy Range winery was great to us and we had dinner at Terroire. Great staff and good eats to be sure. On to Queenstown.
What a wonderfully European feel Queenstown had. Small intimate streets and people all over the place. The Spire was perfect for us. Florence greeted us and was superlative in her suggestions and ideas for us to do. We did take a plane ride out to Milford Sound and the cruise. We went wine tasting and went to Amisfield for lunch where there was a spectacular sunset. It was so good that the staff came outside to take pictures. Simply wonderful. We took the gondola ride up the hill and enjoyed a glass of champagne while we took in the view. That was our last day and really enjoyable. We left the next day and flew back home.
Again, all the arrangements you made of us came off without a hitch. I even drove on the left side of the road without incident. It’s not so bad once you figure out the roundabouts. Thanks to you and your team for setting this up. Will highly recommend this service to our friends should they need to journey down under.
