Goodwin, Lance J2012-01-192022-10-312012-01-192022-10-3119891989https://ir.wgtn.ac.nz/handle/123456789/27315Despite this potential, New Zealand has very few clubs of international quality. The courses at Wairakei, Paraparaumu Beach, and Titirangi are all very close to that standard, although they are not very well known outside of New Zealand. This stems from a problem in New Zealanders attitudes towards achieving high standards. Slowly our courses are being improved, but not the clubhouse facilities, to the same extent. Golf clubs are remembered for their clubhouses, as much as for their courses, if not more. An example is when one mentions St. Andrews Golf Club, one immediately remembers the famous old club house, rather than any individual hole. Golf is played all around the world, in many different climates, and by many different classes of men, and later, women. Wherever it is played, golf is basically the same, and New Zealand has sensed this and served it in the same tradition.pdfen-NZClubhousesGolf coursesLandscape architectureText
