Had some good responses to the Auckland thread I did so thought I would give it a whirl. Have a game booked in at paraparaumu beach but was wondering where else I should try and have a hit? Cheers.

Will you be anywhere near Cape Kidnappers?

Macjack: Miramar - which adjoins the airport - is quite a fun track that when I played it in 2002 was in pretty good condition. If you arrive early and can't check in until the arvo, it's an easy way to kill a few hours.
It lost a few holes, a few good ones I was told, when the airport expanded, but still worth a hit in my book.
Paraparaumu is amazing. I'm jealous.

Scottt, course looks amazing, am looking forward to it. So easy to get on, and really good value, too. I think I'm having a game at royal wellington but the drive up to Taupo seems like it would be really worth it!

Play Royal Wellington, and there are so many quality country tracks over there and plenty withn 3 hours of Wellington or thereabouts, you will be like a kid in a candy store.
Many just have an honesty box too, so access and price is very reasonable

Cheers Moe, only will be able to play two rounds, plus the weather is pretty crap over there.

Mac,
If you are playing Paraparaumu Beach then you have pretty much covered the best the area has to offer. Royal Wellington is reasonable & the only other courses I've played the area are Manor Park & Hutt, which are both nice local courses, but not worth going out of your way.

Trouble is, it about 4 hours from Wellington.

Paraparaumu is better than Kidnappers

I'll have to take your word for it Moe as i have played neither. Paraparaumu does look nice though with way cheaper green fees
