Arrival at the Course

When you arrive at the course, if you are bringing guests it is your responsibility to ensure they pay their green fees when you check in and get your card. 

Please read the local rules board, grab your sand bucket and check the new electronic starters Board outside the office. Please do not just tee off when you think you have a gap as there are often other players down to play in Groups and we are finding more and more players are being left behind and thinking they are going to be playing with others which causes more delays and issues on the course. Golf is about playing with other members and meeting more people so please stick to your tee time unless advised by the Pro Shop or Starter that you can change.

At the end of your round return your sand bucket to the rack and don't leave them in the car park please, enter your card then support the club either at the cafe or the bar/kitchen!

Regards

Our Golfers

Derek Armstrong

Handicap: 17.6 

How long have you been at WGC?: I first played here in my 20s but it was on and off over the years. I only just rejoined three years ago.  

What got you interested in golf?: I grew up on the other side of the golf course and my father was a life member here. I remember as a kid, we would grab our clubs, get on our bikes and go out to play, either here or at Takapuna. So golf has always been a big part of my family and childhood.  

What’s your favourite hole here and why?: The 18th. It’s a bit of a challenge, and the green can be quite difficult sometimes.  

What’s the best golfing tip you’ve been given?:  Slow it down and don’t hit the ball so hard.  

If you could play a round with anybody who would you pick, and why?: Ryan Fox, I recently missed out on an auction at the rugby club for a golf experience with him. I would’ve loved to play with him, he seems like a great character! I’d also love to play with Lydia Ko.  

Where would you like to play one day, and why?: Pebble Beach Golf Links in California, simply because of its fame and prestige.  

Do you have any long-term personal golfing goals that you’re working towards? Getting a lower handicap.  

What’s your favourite thing about WGC?:  The club atmosphere. Everyone knows each other, we all get along, the club is run really well, and the staff are lovely.
