On The Road to Schytherbolle

And how about these words from the Air New Zealand web site
"Titirangi is Auckland's most celebrated course. It's the closest golfing experience you will get to Augusta National, Cypress Point or Royal Melbourne."
Didn't I say it was good but alas although there's a Redan style hole there's nothing like Cypress Point's 16th.

I can't resist showing this picture of the 16th from one of my favourite golf course web sites.

And now back to Titirangi.
You know how it is. You can spend years planning on playing a famous golf course and when you get there they’ve mucked about with it. The kind of changes that committees who are full of wannabe course architects make and who made Mac quite mad. Fortunately they’ve maintained a marvelous golf course here on the Fringe of Heaven but I do wonder what Mac would’ve said about that bloody big bunker on the left hand side of the second fairway.
Oh by the way if you’ve heard people rabbit on about redan style golf holes. Titirangi’s 11th hole, there’s a picture of it on the slide show on the club's web site, is a verrry god example
