Course Description
Maungakiekie has the grace that only a mature golf course can offer — well-contoured fairways and greens and an abundance of native trees attracting a wide variety of colourful birdlife. No wonder the Clubhouse overlooks some of the most stunning views in Auckland across the course to the Waitakere Ranges and the Manukau Harbour Headland, all within 15 minutes drive from both Auckland International Airport and Auckland CBD. Established at the turn of last century in 1909, the Club has kept pace with modern course design and agronomy techniques. Recent course redevelopments devised by renown American course architect Dave Harmon (Kauri Cliffs) have given Maungakiekie a number of new fairways, greens and challenges to test and delight both the casual golfer and low-handicaper. In addition to the course itself, the Club boasts multiple practice areas: putting green, indoor driving nets and Albatross golf simulator, indoor putting and chipping green, chipping green, practice bunkers, and short game range. Maungakiekie operates a fully stocked Golf Shop, 7-day Cafe, and full bar facilities. The Club hosts and welcomes Corporate and Charity Golf Days, with the catering and function facilities being ideal for dinners, meetings, conferences, weddings and private functions. We look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful golfing and social facility!
