WATTLE DOWNS GOLF COURSE - update from Manager
Hi and happy Auckland Anniversary Weekend to you all.
There are a couple of important notices the course Manager would like to update below.
Monday Auckland Anniversary Day, don’t forget to book a tee time as we expect to be busy. The men’s division are holding a cash haggle, so be here before 11am to make up fours.
The office is open from 7am, with the clubhouse bar and pizzeria open from 12 noon. Happy Hour from 2-4pm with Robbie Wikaira King playing/singing Old School Music from 3pm. Closing time is subject to patronage.
As of Wednesday 30th January, until further notice I am closing the third hole to give the green an opportunity to recover. My members deserve the best that we can offer, with what we have. With this in mind we will be playing the practice hole as 9A and 18A. The score cards as of Wednesday (all going to plan) will reflect these changes with the 3rd and 12th not showing on the cards. Please keep off the 3rd green. I know it is tempting. When playing 9A and 18A, please allow the group on the hole/green to walk off the hole completely before teeing off. When walking from the 9A and 18A green back towards the clubhouse and 10th tee, DO NOT walk in front of the 9th/18th green.
Ladies Opening Day is Wednesday 30th January. 9 hole ambrose teeing off from 9am. Be here by 8.30am Ladies. Twilight golf in the afternoon from 3-6pm all welcome.
Our Mens Captains Pennant team are playing Titirangi at Chamberlain Park while our Interclub Division III men’s Pennant team is playing at Wattle Downs on Sunday 3rd February, teeing off from 8:36am playing Akarana #2. The other clubs playing here are Windross Farm, Remuera #2, Formosa, Whitford Park #2, Waiuku and Howick. Come on down and support our boys.
My staff and I always do our best for our members and guests at all times. We take our positons here seriously and that includes your care and wellbeing while here along with the care of the golf course. If you have any feedback, talk to me. I am approachable, and I will listen. Please don’t yell at me, don’t speak badly to or of my staff.
Service of alcohol will be cut should we deem it necessary. Pre loading before coming down to the club is frowned upon. We will not tolerate bad, rude, offensive behaviour and language from any member or visitor. Man or woman. This is a family friendly environment.
At the end of the day, the game of golf and your time at Wattle Downs Golf Course is meant to be fun and enjoyable. Let’s keep it that way :-)
Have a fantastic weekend. We hope to see many of you over the next three days.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
