Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- AllbokSouth Pacific15 contributionsHaving played at Wainui golf course a year ago with mixed feelings, I was pleasantly surprised at the significant improvement in the overall condition of the course. The greens were all in good condition as was the fairways which had a good coverage of grass considering the lack of rain. Further notable improvement has been the cutting back of the rough on many holes which on my prior visit accepted gladly a number of lost balls. The course is a real challenge particularly the 13,14 and the 16th which is a monster that low markers will enjoy. Overall a high five to the club and green keepers for making the course more suitable to mid handicap players, who make up the bulk of golfers.Written 19 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GeridogShanghai, China511 contributionsWe were lucky to book a week ahead and got to play as a two on Saturday and then in a three on Sunday.
A very busy course, groups on every tee. But in the scheme of things a four hour game was fine.
The greens are some of the best I have experienced. The fairways undulating and mainly narrow but challenging.
A coastal breeze both days but what a wonderful experience. Views of the harbours from most holes.
Lots of cries of fore which was slightly unnerving as we are not used to this.
Many holes that could be considered signature holes anywhere else. It was a real treat.
We were lucky to play with a couple of decent blokes from remuneration club who were great company.
The pro shop staff were very friendly, and the pro shop sold good drinks and food, easy to grab a snack after 9 holes.
Our cart wa so slow on day one we almost thought we were going backwards. But to be honest we didn’t need it other than to have a soft seat whilst waiting. On day two we walked which was very pleasant despite lots of hills.
A very cool course.Written 4 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- " Gigi "Sedona, AZ404 contributionsComing from the USA understanding 400 golf courses are awaiting my arrival, so many choices and so much time, actually 2 plus months during summer there in the Southern Hemisphere.
Several months prior to my arrival I shot off emails to Golf course Directors, Golf Professionals, etc. to understand my best options. My criteria---Quality test of golf/and an uncommon layout, links or inland either fine, central location in the City of Auckland and last on the list was affordability.
My 2 top responses came from Peter Hay-McKenzie, head professional at Maungakiekie G.C. and the Golf Director at Titirangi whose name escapes me now. Peter responded in a nearly coaching manner suggesting a multiple play short term member card that would allow a substantial savings and weekday/twilight access and some weekend play. After having paid a $100.00 to ship my clubs I was determined to play golf. I settled on MGC on proximity to my stay location, a more playable course since I played rarely more than once a year for two decades and Peters caring suggestion.
Much to my delight MGC had texture as it was built on rolling hills, at least 10 holes that began as a mystery as too where the greens were or the fairways would lead to, or which direction they would shape over a rise or drop. And despite the summer drought the greens held well and putted true. I was a great exercise in walking and I was paired with an exceptional array of professional men from around the globe. I was greeted by Peter, Jeff and others always with courtesy and respect and enjoyed the care and attention from the staff upstairs at the bar/restaurant. I played nine full rounds here and despite invites or recommendations to play elsewhere I felt my loyalty to Peter and Maungakiekie this summer. My thanks and gratitude for all you provided me at your great Golf Club with hopes of returning next year (2016) Greg and Mullika AlexanderWritten 12 March 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is some renovation ongoing but this did not distract us. The staff at the Club were very friendly and helpful. The members were also very welcoming. Highly recommend the Bar and Cafe as well. A great day out - Club hire andCart Hire available and the course is easily reached by taxi.Written 27 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
