It's a great photo opportunity if you're wearing white, otherwise you can silhouette yourself in front of various neon objects. Much like most Mini Putt places, it has some really easy greens and some extremely difficult ones. I guarantee you will thoroughly enjoy it whether you are good at golf or not, as it's truly a unique experience. Take the whole family or some friends. It costs about the same as a movie ticket, which is a great deal! You'll remember it for ages to come.

It's a combination of the dark with the awesome patterned tracks, glow in the dark golf clubs and golf balls that make this a winner. They have 16 holes to play with their own unique buildings, pathways and fairways in technicolour. Loved what they've done with the spaces particularly the hang down from the ceiling foliage at the start and the funky lights in the mirrored room. A lovely indoor activity that is highly memorable. Great for occasions as well.

Stressed out? Come and hit some balls - the driving range is open until 11pm!…read more Their 220 metre double storey driving range offers 48 covered bays. The range is fully floodlit to enable practice long after the light has faded. The driving range is very well priced - at the moment the night-time special is $10 for 100 balls - and the automatic tee's are a bonus. But I would recommend bringing your own clubs, the clubs that are available for hire aren't very good. There is a shop on-site that will cater for all of your golfing needs. And lastly - good access off the motorway and great parking!

As far as public golf courses go, Takapuna presents itself quite well. With a good driving range…read moreand a well stocked pro shop, the club delivers on course and off it. The course plays best in springtime when the grass is green and the hundreds of trees in full bloom. In winter times it can get a bit soggy underfoot, and in summer months it could be a bit dry. Great if you're a long hitter. What I like about this course, is that on the first you can really let loose on a wide fairway, and they seem to get narrower as the course continues. There is an eagle chance or two on two short-ish par fives and there are a couple of holes where you can make your move on the score card.

I've played the different layouts of this unique set up, and I'm always impressed with the toughness of this course. It is not a course for beginners, and the whole club experience at the North Shore Golf Club calls out for seasoned club members. The clubhouse is excellent and the staff knowledgeable, and you get to play on good greens, well kept fairways and bunkers that actually still have sand in them. There is a dress code going, and this shouldn't be a problem for the level of golf that is expected on this course. I like this course, but my budget doesn't currently allow me to sign up as a member, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to be one.

Staff and bartenders were super friendly, and consistently walked around making sure the place was clean. Drink prices were good, but the cost to golf was a little steep. You can pay for either 9, 18, or all 27 hoIes, and you get to choose your 9-hole stretches. I liked how they incorporated pinball, planko, pool, and ball maze into the games, instead of just got traditional putt putt course. And the directions before each hole was cool. Holes are short, so you'll knock out 18 in about 40 minutes.

Overall, a fun activity but not very impressive in terms of a unique mini gold experience. My…read morefriends and I paid for 9 holes and I probably would not pay to go again but if you are looking to kill some time in the city this is a good choice, especially for kids. Some of the holes were fun and tricky yet some were boring and ended with the same outcome for every player. I think playing 18 holes would be repetitive by the end. The music was good and staff was friendly, so we were able to make our own fun out of it but the facilities were not all that impressive. One of the machines for one of the holes was broken as well which was disappointing, it stole our balls and happened for multiple groups in front of us as well. Cheap drinks were good though.

I enter this shop and instantly get disoriented. But the staff are a good friendly bunch who are always willing to help. It's impossible for me to leave the store without making a purchase (well I guess I go here with that intention from the beginning). The super discounted bargain bins near the entrance of the store are usually pretty sweet if you can find something. This place exists for all your golfing needs. They have these cool indoor driving ranges at the back of the store where you can test out the equipment before buying it. I don't know much about golf, but buying an expensive club that you later find you cannot hit well is more than just annoying.

It is up and down; then you go across one hole, over another. Kudos to whoever decided that they could fit a golf course on this hill, because I would never have thought you would get enough crazy people to make it work. Yet, here I am, and I've played it half a dozen times or so. This course is definitely for the smart golfer, not the 'bash and hope' types, but rather the 'select the club that suits the hole' types. Since I'm the former rather than the latter, it comes at no surprise that I struggled, losing a few balls in the process. This value for money course will challenge and delight.

While browsing at The Golf House, the salesman advised they could refit all my irons for a hundred dollars, a deal so good I couldn't resist. This would take a couple of days, and inspired me to book a four ball soon thereafter, and with my new grips I should smash my foes. Apart from the good grip offer, I also made use of the store's in house technology, after all, everyone should be aware of their club head speed and ball strike trajectory. At 105mph mine is okay, and with a slight draw on the perfect swing, I'm looking good for the course. The Golf House is a bit on the expensive side, but their knowledge of the equipment and the game is worth the difference.
