According to Planet Golf, "the merging of New Zealand’s neighbouring Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club's was formalised in 2015, when members of the two clubs voted to join forces and consolidate their courses into one new 27-hole Nicklaus Design facility. Royal Auckland's history dates back as far as 1894, and The Grange to 1924. The value of their surplus land enabled the new club to pursue what from the outside seemed a rather ambitious project, that is to use a modern Nicklaus Design as a means of establishing this new entity as Auckland’s premier private club facility. At a cost exceeding $60 million, the newly merged club was able to build a contemporary Andrew Patterson designed clubhouse and to stage the opening of its three nines between 2019 and 2021."
