In Volume 1 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak published that.

“This course weighs in at just over 6,000 yards, which makes it a bit of a pushover for today’s low-handicappers, but it’s everything a 10-handicapper could ask for. The sunken bunkers fringed with heather have a rudimentary but unique look to them, and a couple of the short par-4’s – in particular the 317-yard 8^th – are the equal of Woking when the course is playing fast.”

New Zealand GC received a score of 6 out of 10 from Tom Doak.
