I've been a member of my current club for about 2 years. One of the main problems with it Ishtar in the wet Auckland months (End of April-end of August really) our course is almost unplayable. The club is fun, good people, but I just feel it's a waste of 4 months golfing.

So I decided to go back to a club I used to be a member of:

Muriwai Golf Club

The course is situated on the West Coast of Auckland, it's sand based and is a semi-links course. The great thing is that as it's sand based it's pretty much never closed due to rain/weather etc.

The course is just under 6,200 meters long from the men's club and championship tees (just under 6,800 yards) so pretty long. Some if the holes play into the prevailing wind so it's a real challenge.

I'm really looking forward to going back to Muriwai and playing one if if not the best courses in the region.

Here's a link to their website

And here is the gallery of holes - http://www.muriwaigolfclub.co.nz/gallery.aspx - check out the 8th green, this is the signature hole facing the ocean. This hole us approx 150 meters and plays anything from a wedge to driver depending on the wind.

I'll update this thread in my progress. I expect my HI to go out a bit while I get used to the course again, then hopefully it'll come back down to where I want it - currently an index if 11 and my goal is a playing handicap of 9.

It's gonna be fun!!!
