Rydges Formosa Auckland Golf Resort

Waking up to play golf is a dream. Its a beautiful course with stunning views and some challenging holes. All the staff in the golf shop are legends and when you stay, you get an automatic discount on your golf games. The cheaper villas are actually nicer and having a double shower and bath is bliss after a full day of golf

The main staff of the resort are the downside of this place..and the food. They clearly use the cheapest ingredients possible so we take ourselves into the old area of beachlands for much higher quality eats. The staff that work at the front desk make you feel like you're putting them out by paying with cash or being excited about being there (because the place is really beautiful). We've stayed a handful of times and its always been the same. Once i had 9dollars to clear on check out day after a 3day stay, but for some reason got a call about 930pm which woke us up to ask when we were coming to pay it off. Not sure if its poor staff training or the high turnover that hospo usually has, but its very odd. Won't stop us from returning though so its not the worst

The spacious villa, the space between each villa is just perfect.
