St Andrews is a suburb in north-western Hamilton in New Zealand.[1] One of its main features is an 18-hole golf course[2] built on an old flood plain on the west bank of the Waikato River. This area was regularly flooded before the construction of the Karapiro HEP dam further up river.[citation needed]
