Can Auckland Council finally do the impossible and get rid of one (1) golf course?

The last time an Auckland Council body tried to get rid of a golf course, it ended in disaster. Maybe this time it’ll be different. Auckland Council isn’t known for its ambition. Recently it turned down an 11-storey timber building next to a train station to protect the heritage value of a gravel lot and a Mobil station.
