New Zealand Golf Holidays
Just a short flight from Australia, New Zealand is host to some of the most beautiful and scenic golf courses in the World - and they're perfectly complemented with some of the best wine and food offerings!
New Zealand's North Island - renowned for breathtaking coastline views, is the home to the iconic Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs golf courses, while further inland on the North Island, Wairakei and The Kinloch Club (designed by Jack Nicklaus) are easily accessible from all the main centres, including Auckland. Auckland itself is home to the highly rated Titirangi Golf Club (designed by Alister MacKenzie) and just north of Auckland are the stunning new Te Arai Links with the South Course designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, and the North Course by Tom Doak. In New Zealand’s capital, Wellington, there is Paraparaumu, regarded as one of the best links courses in the southern hemisphere, and of course it's in good company with Royal Wellington, the host of the 2017 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.
On New Zealand's South Island, is Christchurch's much acclaimed Clearwater Golf Club, as well as the beautiful Terrace Downs.
Further south, you have Queenstown. Surrounded by epic mountain ranges and sweeping vistas, are the outstanding Jack’s Point, Millbrook Golf Resort and The Hills - still more of New Zealand's marquee golf courses.
