Mangawhai Golf Club Top 100 Review

Mangawhai Golf Club is home to an 18-hole championship sand-based coastal golf course, designed by renowned New Zealand course architect Harold Percy Dale in 1979. Consistently ranked among New Zealand's top 25 courses, it features well-groomed fairways and immaculate, fast and true greens set amidst native flora and naturally gentle undulations of the landscape.

Located near Auckland, the course is always playable due to its superior sand base providing excellent drainage. The layout offers challenge and reward for golfers of all abilities, with notable features including the par-five twelfth hole, named "Harry's Dale" in honour of the designer. The clubhouse includes a member's lounge with panoramic coastal views, a café, driving range, and golf shop. The course has hosted prestigious visitors including Sir Bob Charles at its 40th anniversary celebration in 2019, and is recognised for combining excellent golf conditions with a welcoming atmosphere and good value for both members and visiting golfers.
