It rained so much last night even the ducks considered building themselves an ark and sailing to Gibraltar. You think that there's not much to do but build a raft or hibernate until the summer arrives but you'd be wrong. Wrong I tell you. Dig out your golf clubs - they won't be any use on a boat anyway - and get yourself to Mangawhai Golf Club for a round of 18 holes.

Rain or shine, Mangawhai Golf Course is just a 90-minute drive north of Auckland and is consistently regarded as one of the top courses in New Zealand. Here’s your chance to find out why by grabbing 18 holes of golf for just $25.

The meticulously maintained course is the perfect get-away for a great day indulging in your favourite sport. Practice on a demanding mixture of wide and narrow fairways and undulating greens landscaped in a picturesque setting surrounded by native bush and wetlands. And because it’s developed on a sandy base with excellent drainage, the weather doesn’t affect the Mangawhai golf course, even during the wettest days known to man.
