New Zealand

Kauri Cliffs, Cape Kidnappers and Kinloch have become "must play" courses for the well traveled golfer!

New Zealand is one of those countries everyone has to visit sometime, whether a bucket list achievement or simply a pilgrimage to one of the world's most hospitable lands. There is endless beauty here, quite possibly the nicest people in the world, and no crowds, anytime, anywhere.

You can stay in luxury lodge accommodations like The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, or Huka Lodge.  Perhaps rent a house like the art deco masterpiece at Dunalistair House on Kinloch GC near Taupo, or choose from a nice B&B or hotel.

Whatever budget you have, ALL courses are availalble including the fantastic Cape Kidnappers GC, Kauri Cliffs, Kinloch, Gulf Harbour, The Hills, Jacks Point, Clearwater or the older classics such as Paraparaumu, Titirangi, and Wairakei.
