Experience: Golfing Around in NZ’s North Island
New Zealand has a reputation for great golf courses in stunning locations, and the nation’s latest two additions certainly seal the deal.
1.5 hours (or a quick 15 minute helicopter flight) north of Auckland, Tara Iti (opened in October 2015) is a spectacular 18-hole links-style private course designed by Tom Doak and set amongst the sand dunes overlooking picturesque Hauraki Gulf.
Meanwhile, the Jack Nicklaus signature Kinloch Golf Course overlooking Lake Taupo already challenges and delights golfers from around the globe – whilst the recently opened (January 2016) Kinloch Lodge’s luxury apartment and villa style accommodation will reward them with an unsurpassed meeting of natural beauty, cutting edge design and contemporary sophistication.
