Scenic golf links set for housing

An Orewa golf course with park-like fairways and sea views is set for a 600-house development.

Members of the Peninsula Golf Club have voted to accept a developer's offer of a swap - in return for building a free course in the countryside and giving the club more than $10 million cash.

Formed in 1956, the club's 44ha property overlooks Red Beach. Its lakes, mature trees and flower beds are like a scenic tour over 18 holes.

"There are a lot of mixed emotions - long-time members recall the working bees and now there is the exciting opportunity for a course by a world-class designer," said chairman Patrick Kennelly. "We will continue to run here until May 2013 when the new course is built at Wainui and we move to that."
