Wainui Golf Club is the phoenix that rose out of the ashes of the Peninsula Golf Club. Grant Puddicombe and his team at Puddicombe Golf were brought in to design the new course and it opened in 2016.

Peninsula Golf Club dates from 1956, but members took up an offer by a local developer to swap their tight little home grown course near Red Beach for a brand new championship course at Wainui nearly a decade ago.

This course's position in the rankings is a bit of a mystery.

Having played Wainui 6 times, I’ve now got a decent understanding of the course, and this is absolutely one of my favourites in New Zealand.

2016 was quite a year for New Zealand golf courses, with three impressive new layouts opening within twelve months of each other.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
