SUMMARY:Muriwai Golf Club Thursday 16 October 2025 12.30 Tee off
DESCRIPTION:If you haven't played at Muriwai for a few months you will see 
 many changes since you were last there. Muriwai has spent a lot of time an
 d money in removing old trees and also unnecessary trees to make it a true
  links course. It is in great condition and has been very popular through 
 the winter as the driest course in Auckland.\nThe Muriwai Golf Club was fo
 rmed in 1956 and the course – originally designed by Harold Babbage – 
 opened for play in 1960. Designers John Bourke and Alex Glasgow were commi
 ssioned to renovate the links between 1996 and 2003.\nRouted among dunes\,
  heather and pines\, with breathtaking views of the Tasman Sea from every 
 hole\, you could be forgiven for thinking you’re playing a traditional B
 ritish links course. Muriwai stretches out to 6\,765 yards (6\,186m) from 
 the tips and when the wind whips across these naturally undulating fairway
 s\, playing to handicap can be an uncomfortable challenge.\nThe club is pr
 oud to state that the course never closes\, as the links turf drains freel
 y\, but nature has forced some changes over the past decade due to coastal
  erosion. Several new holes have been created and these have become some o
 f the toughest on the card\, especially when the wind is blowing.\nThe Mur
 iwai Open is a recent (2010)\, additional venue on the Charles Tour\, whic
 h was created by former Kiwi tour professional Greg Turner to provide auth
 entic\, preparatory competition for golfers wanting an overseas career. 
 “Part of Greg Turner's aims was to play this tour on traditional and tes
 ting New Zealand golf courses. The addition of this marvellous links cours
 e at Muriwai is very much in keeping with those goals to really test our b
 est players.” Said New Zealand Golf’s acting CEO\, Dean Murphy.\nThe M
 uriwai clubhouse stands on the highest point of the course\, overlooking t
 he finishing hole. It boasts some of the most spectacular views of any clu
 bhouse in New Zealand and is the perfect place for post-round refreshments
