Windross Farm Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Windross Farm for a mid-handicapper, and what should I prepare for?

Windross Farm offers a fantastic test for all skill levels, but don't let the wide fairways fool you; it's a strategic course. You'll find the bunkering incredibly penal and the greens have subtle breaks that demand your full attention. Be ready to manage your game, especially when the wind picks up, which it often does.

What's the best time of year to play Windross Farm to experience it at its prime?

We highly recommend visiting during New Zealand's spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May). The weather is generally more settled, offering comfortable playing conditions without the peak summer crowds. You'll find the course in superb condition, and the views across the rolling farmland are particularly lush.

Is Windross Farm a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While Windross Farm is relatively flat compared to some other New Zealand courses, it's a decent walk, especially if you're carrying your bag. We've always found it enjoyable on foot, but if you prefer to conserve energy or have any mobility concerns, a cart is a perfectly good option. The course flows well for either choice.

What makes Windross Farm unique compared to other Auckland-area golf courses?

Windross Farm stands out with its modern, links-style design on former farmland, giving it a distinct character you won't find elsewhere in the region. The course feels expansive, with wide-open vistas and a design that truly embraces the natural contours and prevailing winds. It's a refreshing departure from more traditional parkland layouts.

What's the typical pace of play like at Windross Farm, especially on weekends?

You'll generally find a good pace of play at Windross Farm, even on busier weekend mornings. The course is well-managed, and the layout encourages efficient movement between holes. We've rarely experienced significant delays, allowing you to enjoy your round without feeling rushed or held up.
