Golf in New Zealand

 

With our magnificently designed courses, often nestled within the breathtaking panorama of snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests and seascapes, New Zealand’s golf locations are increasingly popular.

As with boats, there are more golf courses per capita in New Zealand than any other country.
Some of the top courses are:

  • Kauri Cliffs, arguably one of the best golf courses in New Zealand and certainly the most exclusive
  • Waitangi, overlooking the beautiful Bay of Islands
  • Formosa Country Club and Gulf Harbour, both with magnificent views over Auckland's Hauraki Gulf
  • Mount Maunganui links, built on rolling sand dunes near one of the country's best surfing beaches
  • Wairakei, near Lake Taupo, rated one of the top 25 courses outside the United States
  • Millbrook Resort, designed by New Zealand’s distinguished golf professional Sir Bob Charles, near the alpine adventure resort of Queenstown
