Formosa Golf Resort occupies a large coastal property at Beachlands in eastern Auckland. The 18-hole, par-72 course was designed with substantial input from New Zealand major champion Sir Bob Charles and opened in the 1990s; specialist course histories give 1997 as the opening year. Championship information from the New Zealand Open records a course length of approximately 6,633 metres at the time of the national championship, while later course information publishes about 6,650 metres.
Formosa hosted the 1997 New Zealand Open, where Greg Turner won by seven strokes. The property later became associated with Rydges as a hotel and golf resort. Its coastal position provides water views from many holes, but the golf course itself remains the core 18-hole layout rather than multiple courses.
The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,650m. Designed by Sir Bob Charles, the course originally opened in 1997. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Hotel, Restaurant, Clubhouse, Practice facilities.
Formosa was developed on a large coastal property at Beachlands, with Sir Bob Charles providing the principal golf design input.
The course hosted the New Zealand Open while still a relatively young venue; Greg Turner won the 1997 championship by seven strokes.
The property operates as Rydges Formosa Golf Resort, combining the original 18-hole course with resort accommodation.
