From its cliff top and coastal fairways, the course has panoramic views of Waiheke Island, Rangitoto and the distant Coromandel Peninsula. With hundreds of native trees lining the fairways, Formosa is a picturesque challenge of golf. Almost all holes have a beautiful north facing view of the Hauraki Gulf.
