Magnificently
designed courses, frequently set against breathtaking
panoramas of snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests
and seascapes, make New Zealand one of the world's
most sought after golf locations.
There
are more than 400 crowd-free golf courses where
you can play year-round. That's more golf courses
per capita than any other country! You will also
find some of the least expensive golfing in the
world where visitors are always welcome. Major
courses have golf carts and clubs for hire.
Some
of the top courses are:
- Waitangi,
overlooking the beautiful Bay of Islands
- Formosa
Country Club and Gulf Harbour, both with magnificent
views over Auckland's Hauraki Gulf
- Wanaka, Southern
Lakes, South Island
- 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,
designed by New Zealand's Bob Charles near
the alpine resort of Queenstown
