 | Saturday, February 24, 2024 at 10:00:00 am | Gibbs Farm | Gibbs Farm is an unusual setting for a sculpture collection. The North Auckland property is dominated by the Kaipara Harbour, the largest harbour in the Southern hemisphere. The harbour is so vast it occupies the whole western horizon; and it is very shallow, so when the tide goes out, the shallows are exposed for several kilometres and the light shimmies and bounces off it across the land. Equally, it is the forecourt to the prevailing westerly weather that sweeps, sometimes vehemently, across the land. Everything in the property flows towards and eventually into the sea; and every work contends in some way with the slide seaward. | Website | North Island NZ 24 | |||
 | Monday, February 26, 2024 at 9:00:00 am | Play Tearai Links South Golf Course | There are lengthy holes and finesse holes. There are holes with varying shapes and sizes, with character and golf strategies based upon the natural contours we discovered on site.The South Course at Te Arai Links has sixteen ocean view golf holes and eight holes bordering directly on the sea. Without question, it will be a photogenic and visually stunning golf course. | Website | North Island NZ 24 | |||
 | Tuesday, February 27, 2024 at 9:00:00 am | Play Tearai Links North Golf Course | Possibly the most dramatic holes on the course will be the 11th and 13th. The former is a long par-5 with an elevated green and a ‘whirlpool’ hazard to the right, some seven meters below the green. The 13th is a long par-4 with its green at the edge of a huge natural bunker, so that second shots have to be played over the sand or safely around to the left. It’s a hole very reminiscent of Pine Valley in New Jersey, and indeed so is much of the inland terrain at Te Arai. | Website | North Island NZ 24 | |||
 | Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at 10:00:00 am | Drive to Auckland | There is a little over an hour to Auckland, we can play golf on the way down or maybe we just want to have a leisurely start and explore Auckland. | Website | North Island NZ 24 | |||

 | Thursday, February 29, 2024 at 12:10:00 pm | Play Royal Auckland | The 27 holes at Royal Auckland and Grange are spread almost equally across the two founding club properties, with the nines known as Grange, Tamaki and Middlemore. The Middlemore holes include the area closest to the former Royal Auckland clubhouse, and feature several holes that essentially occupy the same land as that club’s original layout. The par three 2nd at the old clubhouse is an early standout, as are the longer back-and-forth 4th and 5th holes. | Website | NZD | $425.00 | $385.98 | North Island NZ 24 |
