Heavy rain on Tuesday has seen a Coromandel golf course resemble an archipelago, with one green now an island surrounded by water.

Footage taken by Jason Berry at Titoki golf course in Whangamatā shows the green just above floodwaters.

MetService said the Coromandel had received between 50mm and 120mm of rain since 12pm on Monday.

Wild weather was seen throughout the country on Tuesday, with flooded paddocks, fallen trees and heavy snow among the chaos.
