Golflands

Golflands is an eastern suburb of the city of Auckland, New Zealand. The Pakuranga Golf Club is part of the suburb, and many of the streets have names related to golf or notable golf players, such as Bob Charles drive. The golf club was formed in 1969 on leased farmland, which it purchased in 1974 and sold on to Pakuranga Country Club. In 2012, part of the land was sold to Elim Christian College to provide playing fields for their Golflands campus.[3] Another part of the golf course was developed as a retirement home in 2020.[4]
