Afternoon Round

We drive northwest a further 25 minutes to play 18 holes at Muriwai Golf Club. Muriwai Golf Club is one of New Zealand’s most memorable coastal golf experiences — a true links-style course set high above Auckland’s rugged west coast.

The course sits on dramatic sand dunes overlooking the Tasman Sea, delivering panoramic ocean views from nearly every hole. What makes Muriwai special is its natural character. The course rolls through undulating dunes with firm fairways, fast greens, coastal vegetation and ever-changing sea breezes that can completely alter how the course plays from one day to the next. Golfers often compare the experience to traditional Scottish or Irish links golf — scenic, strategic and heavily influenced by the wind.
