Nestled in a sun drenched valley and surrounded by forestry, it melds seamlessly with the surrounding ecology of 20 hectares of native wetlands providing a truly unique golfing experience.
The course opened in 2004 so it's still settling down and the final look of this Coromandel gem is still to come. But the stone bridges, waterfalls, native bush, and the unique boardwalk that links the 4th green with the 5th tee add up to a new golf links that's the perfect place to play.
