As many visiting golfers, particularly those from
overseas, claim Waitangi is truly millionaires country
for all to enjoy.In 1932 the then Governor General
of New Zealand, Lord Bledisloe and his wife Lady Bledisloe
purchased just over one thousand acres of land on
the Waitangi Peninsular and donated it to the inhabitants
of New Zealand as a place of historic interest and
recreational enjoyment for their benefit and use in
perpetuity. This land is known as the Waitangi National
Trust and is now administered and managed under the
terms of the original gift by the Waitangi National
Trust Board.

WHANGAREI GOLF
CLUB
Way back in 1907 the forerunner of Whangarei Golf
Club was established. Called the Marsden Golf Club,
it was set up between the Waiaohia stream and the
western hills on a property owned by O.E. Weaver.
Although those early pioneers "got weaving",
so to speak, they were thwarted by wetness, wandering
cows and belligerent bulls while the fashion in golf
footwear were gumboots.
The club shifted to Hunter and Wilson's
sale yards in 1910. But this venue was also temporary
and in 1916 Mt Denby, an area of 132 acres, was
leased.
The official re-naming of the old
Marsden name came about in 1917. The club today
owes a debt of gratitude to frisky cattle which
forced a move from the old sale yards. Yet the trials
and tribulations associated with creating a really
good golf course were still in the hand-wringing
stage. The property at Mt Denby was a wilderness
of gorse with the only semblance of a fairway being
a paddock near that famous double Norfolk Pine which
became the club's landmark. Perhaps its natural
V for Victory sign stimulated the officials' continuing
determination despite the fact that they still were
required to host ten cows and two horses. But more
land was brought into line as time went by until
Mt Denby possessed twelve holes.
In 1930 a decision was made to proceed
with an eighteen hole layout. Gradually a course
emerged that became the pride of Northland in golfing
circles. When you first drive in past the welcoming
sign you will see no evidence of the almost 75 year
war with nature. Instead you will enjoy a remarkably
beautiful golf course with some very tight driving
holes and some narrow approaches into superb greens.
