The Kinloch Club
Jack Nicklaus played an exhibition in New Zealand 45 years ago and loved the place, but despite having designed courses in thirty countries, Nicklaus hadn’t left his mark on New Zealand until now. After four years of planning and construction and overlooking the beautiful Lake Taupo in volcanic terrain, Kinloch opened in 2007. It was immediately ranked in the Top 10 new golf courses of the world by the prestigious U.S. Travel and Leisure Golf Magazine – making it the only course outside of North America to be included in that Top 10. In 2010, The Kinloch Club has been rated a Top 100 Course in the World by Top100GolfCourses.co.uk
Massive pumice deposits after a super-eruption from Lake Taupo some 27,000 years ago, resulted in the stunning topography and landscapes that are offered at this, the only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in New Zealand.
