Located only 30 minutes south of the Auckland city center, the Windross Farm Golf Course is a unique inland links-style layout that is known for its challenging degrees of interest in a subtle way, offering everybody a chance to score well. The course traverses 60 hectares of pristine farmland with 360 degree views of spectacular tree lined hills and lush green countryside on a mixture of flat and undulating ground, four large man-made lakes interlaced with numerous streams and 38 strategically placed dramatic bunkers.
Windross provides multiple start options from either the 1st, 10th, 12th or 15th with the 9th, 11th, 14th and 18th holes finishing back at the clubhouse. Both nines are of similar length but play quite differently with varying design elements and the influence of wind direction. Both the clubhouse and facilities have been designed with a minimalistic and understated philosophy and they truly complement the unique golf course. It's a very easy walking layout with exceptional drainage that allows the course to be playable year around.
