Since the 1927th, the Akarana Golf Club Inc. had been developing very fast offering great new golf courses. Enjoy your time golfing with our new 18 holes golf course.

The course has never been one of great length nor does the club own much land in Auckland's bustling inner west so the great feature of Akarana has always been its compactness.

Akarana now has two distinct nines. The shorter inner loop with a par of 34 has one of the great holes in Auckland golf, the par three 8th which measures 176 metres from the blue tee to a narrow green with bunkers on the left and water on the right.

The longer outer nine, which has out of bounds on the left of six holes, has the two longer par fives, two demanding par fours in the 13th and 15th, the testing par three 16th and an exciting short par 4 to finish which produces many birdies.

As a golfer of modest ability, I found Akarana challenging .. with a "slope" of 121 it was never going to be easy, but I fell foul of water hazards (ball losses) & the gradient suprised me .. VERY attractive & meticulously maintained, but it was a gusty day, & the fast greens compounded with blustery conditions made putting pretty tough .. on the second, the slope & prevailing wind simply blew the ball back down the green/fairway ,, just would not remain stationery (we picked up eventually) .. but will certainly return as it's a classy course (& I want to improve my abysmal performance)
