Scenic Railway Golf in the Antipodes: One-Tree Hill, Auckland, New Zealand, 1910s This evocative photograph captures the essence of Scenic Railway Golf, a unique and challenging golfing experience set against the breathtaking backdrop of One-Tree Hill in Auckland, New Zealand. Established in the early 1910s, this ingenious golf course laid out on a series of plateaus offers golfers an unforgettable adventure. The scene unfolds with a picturesque panorama of the One-Tree Hill, a volcanic cone that has stood as a landmark for centuries. The lush greenery and vibrant foliage contrast beautifully with the clear blue sky, creating a serene and idyllic setting. In the foreground, a group of spectators, dressed in their finest golfing attire, gather to witness the skills of the players. Their animated expressions and focused gaze speak volumes about the excitement and anticipation that comes with each swing. The golf course at One-Tree Hill is renowned for its difficulty, with its undulating terrain and steep inclines presenting a formidable challenge even for the most experienced golfers. The railway golf carts, visible in the distance, add an element of novelty and convenience, allowing players to traverse the course more easily. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, transports us back in time to an era of leisurely pursuits and scenic beauty. The Scenic Railway Golf at One-Tree Hill in Auckland remains a cherished piece of New Zealand's golfing history and a must-visit destination for golf enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
