WATTLE DOWNS GOLF COURSE - update from Manager
Hi and happy Auckland Anniversary Weekend to you all.
There are a couple of important notices the course Manager would like to update below.
Monday Auckland Anniversary Day, don’t forget to book a tee time as we expect to be busy. The men’s division are holding a cash haggle, so be here before 11am to make up fours.
The office is open from 7am, with the clubhouse bar and pizzeria open from 12 noon. Happy Hour from 2-4pm with Robbie Wikaira King playing/singing Old School Music from 3pm. Closing time is subject to patronage.
As of Wednesday 30th January, until further notice I am closing the third hole to give the green an opportunity to recover. My members deserve the best that we can offer, with what we have. With this in mind we will be playing the practice hole as 9A and 18A. The score cards as of Wednesday (all going to plan) will reflect these changes with the 3rd and 12th not showing on the cards. Please keep off the 3rd green. I know it is tempting. When playing 9A and 18A, please allow the group on the hole/green to walk off the hole completely before teeing off. When walking from the 9A and 18A green back towards the clubhouse and 10th tee, DO NOT walk in front of the 9th/18th green.
Ladies Opening Day is Wednesday 30th January. 9 hole ambrose teeing off from 9am. Be here by 8.30am Ladies. Twilight golf in the afternoon from 3-6pm all welcome.
Our Mens Captains Pennant team are playing Titirangi at Chamberlain Park while our Interclub Division III men’s Pennant team is playing at Wattle Downs on Sunday 3rd February, teeing off from 8:36am playing Akarana #2. The other clubs playing here are Windross Farm, Remuera #2, Formosa, Whitford Park #2, Waiuku and Howick. Come on down and support our boys.
My staff and I always do our best for our members and guests at all times. We take our positons here seriously and that includes your care and wellbeing while here along with the care of the golf course. If you have any feedback, talk to me. I am approachable, and I will listen. Please don’t yell at me, don’t speak badly to or of my staff.
Service of alcohol will be cut should we deem it necessary. Pre loading before coming down to the club is frowned upon. We will not tolerate bad, rude, offensive behaviour and language from any member or visitor. Man or woman. This is a family friendly environment.
At the end of the day, the game of golf and your time at Wattle Downs Golf Course is meant to be fun and enjoyable. Let’s keep it that way :-)
Have a fantastic weekend. We hope to see many of you over the next three days.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
