The RNZAF Auckland Golf Club is a golf course on an operational Air Force base, so the planes are part of the round. The website says visitors may see large aircraft and helicopters as they play, and that parts of the course close now and then for Defence Force work such as parachute landings. Guests can only play with a member, and the club does not take drive-up green fee players. It holds open competitions from time to time, and public golfers can enter those for the day.
The club began as a club for service personnel and now has around 500 members, both service people and civilians. It is run by a small team of volunteers. The course has few trees, so the wind is the main challenge, and the greens are not very large, so putting takes care. Restricted areas border holes 7, 17 and 18, and out-of-bounds areas by the runways are marked with rope and posts. A golf coach gives lessons to juniors and seniors. The club is on Oak Manor Drive in Albany Heights, on the air base at Whenuapai. Our pick in Albany Heights for a round with aircraft overhead.
