Independent report confirms Takapuna’s importance to Auckland golf
The numbers are in — and they tell a powerful story. ⛳
An independent Golf Needs Analysis commissioned by Auckland Council confirms that Takapuna Golf Course is one of the most important courses in Auckland’s golf network.
• 103,000 rounds played each year — the highest of any Auckland course
• A course that is affordable, accessible and beginner-friendly
• Other nearby courses are already at high utilisation and couldn’t absorb Takapuna players
The conclusion?
Continued golf at AF Thomas Park is essential to meet demand — now and into the future.

We want to say a big thank you to all our supporters.

More than 5,000 submissions were received by Auckland Council on the future of AF Thomas Park, and the message was clear: our community values golf at Takapuna.

Seventy per cent of submitters supported continuing golf at the park.
• 37% preferred predominantly golf, with limited other recreation
• 33% supported a balanced mix of golf and other recreational uses
That is significant public support — and it reflects what we hear every day from players, families and the wider community.

Thank you for standing up for accessible, affordable public golf at Takapuna. Your voice has made a difference.
