Ngaruawahia Golf Course
Ngaruawahia Golf Course sits on the banks of the mighty Waikato River an easy 15 minutes drive north of Hamilton and an hour's drive south of central Auckland along State Highway 1.
This very popular course is rated one of the top courses in the region offering a test of golf for all playing levels. Lush contoured fairways and well manicured greens are countered by length, strategically positioned tree and sand traps as well as difficult prevailing winds.
Huntly Information
Our own Kauri Trees! Rare in the Waikato! Enjoy our own area of Native Bush, including Kauri Trees, (6-800 years old) Glimpses and the sounds of our native birds, streams and waterfalls, all this and more, just 2 k's south of Huntly on the west bank of the Waikato River (Parker Rd, of Hakarimata Rd, continuation of River Riew Rd)
I can recommend this Walkway! Recently walked the first part and was very impressed! Plenty of Kauri Trees, and other natives, plenty of wooden steps, also places to sit and rest! Start and finish are a bit steep, but the 2 hour work is extremely worth while.
