Golf at Wairakei International Golf Cours
The course is set out on 156 hectares of former farmland in the middle of the Wairakei Tourist Park boasting lush manicured fairways and greens, mature tree plantings and magnificent vistas. The natural contours, 108 well placed bunkers and three water hazards guard the course from those over-ambitious shots. The large greens provide a false sense of security. The subtle breaks and fast pace demand accurate approach shots.

Golf at Cape Kidnappers Course
“Enjoy your game and enjoy the setting (because) you may never play golf somewhere like this again”
Telegraph travel news editor Charles Starmer-Smith says: “This course, on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, comes top of our list for its dramatic location. Built on what was a sheep station, its fairways play out along a series of jagged ridges that jut out like fingers into the Pacific before plunging down to the rocks below. Players must contend with fearsome ravines, contoured fairways and fast, tilted greens.”
