Clarkes Beach, Awhitu, Pukekohe, Royal Auckland and Grange, and the Windross Farm golf courses are among 22 courses being transformed into vibrant hubs for community conservation. "Our ultimate goal is to see all of Auckland's 36 golf courses join this initiative," Joshi said. "Council provides its expertise and advice, and connects the golf clubs with the local conservation community groups and iwi to maximise the efforts golf clubs put into conservation and regeneration of their land." Joshi said Pupuke Golf Course in the North Shore was a perfect example of a course transformation.
